The Industry Leader Among Profiling Tools

CPU and memory profiling has never been easier, and smarter at the same time. YourKit has developed a revolutionary approach to profiling applications at both development and production stages, bringing unparalleled benefits to professional Java developers on all platforms, including Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, FreeBSD, HP-UX and AIX.

  • Powerful analysis capabilities: CPU and memory hot spots with devoted views; unique snapshot comparison; memory leak detection; memory distribution reports; measuring of shallow and retained sizes of objects; reporting utility.
  • On-demand profiling: With this cutting-edge feature, you can enable profiling only when you need it, with the application running at its full speed for the rest of the time. For example, you can analyze the current heap state at any moment during application runtime by capturing a memory snapshot. This feature is extremely useful for profiling huge applications - with zero overhead.
  • Free embedding into production: You are eligible to distribute a profiling DLL with your real-world commercial applications free of charge. This helps you ease your product maintenance and improve your customer support.
  • J2EE support: Non-intrusive profiling of high-scale production applications; easy integration with application servers; innovative automatic deobfuscator.
  • Java 5/6/7 support: YourKit utilizes all of the advanced Java 5/6/7 profiling features.
  • Quick and easy installation: Straight-forward installation process, with the most reasonable defaults; seamless integration with popular IDEs and application servers; minimum extra configuration.
  • User-friendliness and usability: Light-weight and intuitive scenario-based user interface; keyboard support; report filtering for quick and deep analysis; profiling natively incorporated into supported IDEs to be available from the most obvious and reasonable places.
  • Flexible licensing policy: Multi-platform and multi-processor licensing: commercial, floating, educational, and open source licenses available.

AWARDS
JDJ Editors' Choice Award Winner YourKit Java Profiler received the Java Developer's Journal Editors' Choice Award.
"I had to collect data about a memory leak that happen over several hours of time in the production server. Using other profilers this was not possible since they kept on crashing. Using YourKit this was amazingly easy. It just ran in the background and I gathered statistics at certain moments in time and then compared them against each-other. YourKit is a really nice profiler and I use it now."
