About:
Samply is a command-line sampling profiler for macOS and Linux that captures stack traces to analyze CPU performance. It leverages hardware performance counters for precise, low-overhead profiling and can symbolize results using Breakpad or DWARF debug information. The tool generates profiles that can be viewed interactively in Firefox's Profiler UI.
Key Features:
  • Low-overhead CPU sampling
  • Cross-platform support (macOS, Linux)
  • Integration with Firefox Profiler UI
  • Hardware performance counter support
Use Cases:
  • Identifying CPU performance bottlenecks in applications
  • Analyzing system-wide resource usage
  • Profiling native code without significant runtime impact
Alternatives:
  • Instruments – macOS-only GUI tool; Samply is cross-platform and CLI-based
  • perf – Linux native profiler; Samply provides a more modern UI and macOS support
