Features

Freedom to Choose CPU vendors' profilers are tied to specific processor families. With Zoom, you can profile on all mainstream processors.	Ghost in the Machine Zoom's overhead is typically under 5% of total time so you get an accurate picture of your application's hotspots.
The Big Picture A backtrace is collected with every sample, so you know exactly what code is running and why it's running.	Remote Control Included Zoom can profile across a network using a unique client/server model. You can also profile on the command-line or with scripts.
Brain Transplant Zoom analyzes your application's assembly and source code to provide processor-specific performance hints.	Speak in Tongues Zoom provides definitions for assembly instructions and offers specific tuning advice for many compilers.
Trust No One Open any executable, library or object file and browse its contents. Understand what the compiler has included and what code might be improved.	The Blame Game Since Zoom is low-overhead and scriptable, you can use Zoom as a QA tool. Run it with every build to track performance regressions.

Operating Systems
Zoom works with these distributions:
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5
• SuSE Linux Enterprise 10 and 11
• Ubuntu Linux 8 - 10
• Fedora 8 - 13

Programming Languages
Zoom has been tested with the following programming languages:
• C/C++
• Fortran

Zoom will support other programming languages provided the generated code has debug information.

Debug Information
To correlate source code to samples, Zoom requires code to be compiled with DWARF debug information. For most compilers, pass in the "-g" flag to generate this information.

Zoom supports the "debuginfo" packages found in Red Hat and SUSE distributions and the "dbg" and "dbgsym" packages found in Ubuntu and Debian distributions.
