  • likwid-pin: pin your threaded application (pthread, Intel and gcc OpenMP to dedicated processors)
  • likwid-bench: Micro benchmarking platform
  • likwid-features: Print and manipulate cpu features like hardware prefetchers
  • likwid-genTopoCfg: Dumps topology information to a file
  • likwid-mpirun: Wrapper to start MPI and Hybrid MPI/OpenMP applications (Supports Intel MPI, OpenMPI and MPICH)
  • likwid-perfscope: Frontend to the timeline mode of likwid-perfctr, plots live graphs of performance metrics using gnuplot
  • likwid-agent: Monitoring agent for hardware performance counters
  • likwid-memsweeper: Sweep memory of NUMA domains and evict cachelines from the last level cache
  • likwid-setFrequencies: Tool to control the CPU frequency
