12.10. CHUD ToolsIn addition to the tools listed in the previous section, a set of performance and optimization tools, bundled as the Computer Hardware Understanding Development Tools (CHUD), is available as an option installation with Xcode. You can also download the latest version from ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/Tool_Chest/Testing_ _Debugging/Performance_tools/. CHUD tools are used to configure and display the performance monitor counters provided on Apple systems. These performance monitors record events such as cache misses, page faults, and other performance issues. The list provides information on a few of the tools provided with the CHUD collection. For more details see http://developer.apple.com/tools/performance/.
A CHUD framework (/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CHUD.framework) that enables you to write your own performance tools (among other things) is also provided. |
