Tool for Tracing / Measuring Performance - for TBB

[TRIPATHI__RIPUNJAY]

Hi Team,

I have just entered in the arena of parallel computing and I am writing some parallel algorithms.
To compare the enhancement / performance and amount of "work done" I wanted to have some FREE tool which has ability like Intel® Trace Analyzer and Collector.

I am using TBB on Windows Vista (Visual Studio 2010) and on Fedora 17.

Please give me few pointers.

And one more on MSDN: "Platform SDK: Performance Monitoring" -> "Using Performance Monitoring"

This is a small follow up: Also, Microsoft provides a couple of applications to get that information: - PerfMtr.exe utility ( [PlatformSDKDir]\Bin\... )( you could even find sources ) - PerfMon.exe utility ( [WindowsDir]\System32\... )
