I would like to also suggest TAU (Tuning Analysis and Utilities) from
The University of Oregon.

http://www.cs.uoregon.edu/research/paracomp/tau/tautools

Not only is it free, but I have worked closely with the developers and
they are some of the most responsive I have ever dealt with. If you
have questions/problems they will certainly respond quickly and offer
you more assistance than you would expect.
