Hi,

I'm just resurrecting this thread to inform that I renamed the tool to irqtop as suggested.

New name, new link:
https://gitorious.org/elboulangero/irqtop <https://gitorious.org/elboulangero/itop>

I also added a man page, and fixed some little bugs here and there.

Cheers

Hey elboulangero,

You might want to change the name, there are already 2 itops that I know of, that monitor interrupts:

* http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/itop
* http://et.redhat.com/~jmh/tools/xen/itop <http://et.redhat.com/%7Ejmh/tools/xen/itop> (this is just a small perl script, but still...)

Yours provides much more information (works fine on my machine BTW), so it's a useful addition, but if you just call it itop it's going to be a bit confusing..

Cheers

    Hello everyone,

    lately I had to fight big XRUN troubles, and thanks to this forum
    I finally solved that. This excellent thread saved me:
    http://linuxaudio.org/mailarchive/lau/2012/9/5/192706

    On my long quest, I tried to see a little bit more what happened
    with the IRQs on my system. I searched for a kind of 'top' utility
    to monitor the interrupts, but the only apps I found were either
    deprecated, or missed some cool features.

    So, I ended up writing my own tool to monitor the file
    /proc/interrupts.
    It's available a this address:
    https://gitorious.org/elboulangero/itop

    As its name indicates, it behaves pretty much like top, but for
    interrupts.
    It's quite a simple thing, that I tried to enhance a bit with some
    cool features:
     + refresh period can be specified.
     + two display modes: display interrupts for every CPU, or only a
    sum of all CPU.
     + display every interrupt (sorted like /proc/interrupts), or only
    active interrupts (sorted by activity).
     + in case the number of interrupts changes during the execution
    of itop (due to a rmmod/modprobe), it's handled without any fuss.
     + command-line options are also available as hotkeys for convenience.
     + at last, the program display a summary on exit. The idea is
    that this summary could be copied/pasted in emails to help debugging.

    If anyone is interested, feel free to try and comment !

    Cheers
