For this kind of profiling I like hpctoolkit (http://hpctoolkit.org/). It is
more similar to Shark (only for Mac) than gprof. It uses a sampling based
approach and can give you performance per line not only per function as with
gprof. It also can tell you flop count and cache misses per program line
(using PAPI). And it hardly has any overhead. The disadvantage is that it is
difficult to install.

For parallel profiling I use craypat (only for Cray), MPIP (only MPI),
Scalasca or Tau depending on what I want to look at.
