What it is

A task manager that goes past CPU and memory figures to show what each process is doing: thread stack traces, open handles and files, sockets with data rates, loaded modules, and an editable memory view. Panels sit in one window and update live, with performance graphs for CPU, memory, disk, network and GPU, plus controls for services and drivers. On Linux it reads /proc, netlink and systemd directly, adding cgroup, security-profile and pressure views. Developers and administrators use it to chase deadlocks, leaks and odd process behavior on their own machines.
