LIKWID is a tool suite for performance-oriented programmers and administrators. The term LIKWID stands for 'Like I know what I do'.
General
LIKWID provides a set of helpful tools for analysis of systems and applications:
- likwid-topology: Show system topology ranging from thread topology to cache and finally to NUMA topology
- likwid-pin: Pin application threads to specified CPUs
- likwid-perfctr: Measure hardware counters for an application and show derived metrics
- likwid-powermeter: Measure energy consumption of an application
- likwid-bench: Microbenchmarking suite running hand-tuned assembly benchmarks
- likwid-setFrequencies: Manipulate CPU and Uncore frequencies
- likwid-features: Manipulate hardware features (e.g. (de)activate prefetchers)
- likwid-memsweeper: Clean L3 and NUMA domains
- likwid-perfscope: Similar to likwid-perfctr but provides live-plotting of the measured values
- likwid-mpirun: MPI wrapper for likwid-pin and likwid-perfctr
