Thanks Mark,

Nice to see the adoption of flame graphs everywhere.

I'd encourage people not to overlook Flame Scope. I created this
visualization to address problems with flame graphs: how they can hide
variation, perturbations, and interval patterns. These are all
illustrated by the flame scope subsecond offset heat map, and then you
highlight detail and get the flame graph for those samples.

Or put it this way: If I wasn't a Netflix engineer, flame scope might
be my commercial startup and you'd be paying $30/instance/month to use
it. :-) Instead it's free: https://github.com/Netflix/flamescope

Hi perf-toolers,

I wrote a quick literature-review of profiler user interfaces
available for analysing the output of Linux perf:
https://www.markhansen.co.nz/profiler-uis/

I couldn't find a similar list of profiler UIs online. Hopefully this
can help people find the profiler UI that's right for them.

I'd appreciate any feedback; in particular: did I miss any great perf UIs?

Thank you for all your work on perf,
Mark
