John, Hmm, I'm not sure I've expressed myself clearly... Currently, I have a simple ruby test harness and a guassian-blur test that I use to generate test data with Valgrind. For the valgrind part, I plan on using all the measurements callgrind + cachegrind can provide. Oprofile is much more complicated (as there's a choice of roughly 80 measurements and because it's based on statistical sampling). This is why I focus on valgrind for mid-term. Paying attention to your concern, I propose to start with a very simple web-interface (using text when possible instead of fancy graphics etc...) and then working towards improving it. However, I will not have the time to set up a test suite before mid-term. Therefore I propose to start that ASAP after the mid-term. I intend to produce a fully functional suite based on Valgrind before starting with oprofile, as I estimate the latter as the "high-risk" part of the project. Like that I can guarantee you a working tool-set using valgrind and hopefully also something that can provide the "bells-and-whistles" of oprofile. Does this seem reasonable to you?
