OpenChess

Is there a place for tools like DTrace for chess engine development? DTrace for Solaris/Unix-like environment is a powerful profiling tool that comes integrated with Oracle Solaris Studio (former Sun Studio).

The screen-shot is the IDE running on openSUSE Linux. You see where the program is spending most of the execution time. One wonders if any top chess engine developers are taking advantage of such tools to improve performance.

I use this one: AMD CodeAnalyst: http://developer.amd.com/cpu/CodeAnalys ... fault.aspx.

Didn’t know you were Gull's developer. It uses the following plug-in http://developer.amd.com/cpu/CodeAnalys ... fault.aspx to integrate into Eclipse.
