LatencyTOP is a Linux application for identifying operating system latency within the kernel and find out the operations/actions which cause the latency.
[1] LatencyTOP is a tool for software developers to visualize system latencies.
Based on these observations, the source code of the application or kernel can be modified to reduce latency.
It works for Intel, AMD and ARM processors.
[citation needed] As of 2021, the project appears inactive with the last commit to the source code in October 2009.
