[Crespin]

Hi there, I am using an Apple's laptop. I want some information on Apple CHUD Tools software application. From to many days I am searching this application for my system but I am failed to download so I want to know that from where I will get this application. What are the price of this application. I want some more knowledge about Apple CHUD Tools because I am little aware about this. Can any me some thing about this, please?

The Computer Hardware Understanding Developer Tools (CHUD Tools) are developed to support hardware and software designer to calculate and optimize the capability of PowerPC Macintosh machines running their products beneath MacOS X: Shark is a source line level profiling program that displays you where time is being waste (both user and supervisor code), and correlates performance events to your application’s code. This application also provides tuning suggestion about how to enhance the performance of your code on the G4 and G5 processors.

Monster gives direct access to performance counters and shows the information in both spreadsheet and chart form. Saturn is an accurate, function-level profiler with that you can produce and vision a entire function call trace of your program. Reggie SE offers you to visualize the contents of PowerPC specific purpose registers as well as PCI configuration registers. The CHUD Tools set also contains some additional programs for benchmarking and hardware related development.

There are some major features of Apple CHUD Tools

• Saturn - exact, function-level profiler by that you can create and look a whole function call trace of your application
• BigTop - graphing front-end to end and vm_stat useful for watching computer performance
• PMC Index - find program for searching performance counter events and their setup
• CacheBasher - measures space hierarchy performance in a wide variety of conditions
• Skidmarks GT - processor benchmark and that measures integer, floating-point and vector performance
• Spindown HD - watches the control state of drives connected to the system
