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/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
Diego

Hello everyone,
lately I had to fight big XRUN troubles, and thanks to this forum
I finally solved that. This excellent thread saved me:

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
