## Getting Started
### Installation
Add the ToRSh profiler to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
torsh-profiler = "0.1.0"
```
### Basic Setup
```rust
use torsh_profiler::*;
fn main() {
// Start global profiling
start_profiling();
// Your application code here
your_application_code();
// Stop profiling and export results
stop_profiling();
// Export results
let profiler = global_profiler();
let memory_profiler = MemoryProfiler::new();
// Export to various formats
export_performance_dashboard(&profiler.lock().unwrap(), &memory_profiler, "dashboard.html").unwrap();
}
```
## Basic Profiling
### Function Profiling
Use the `ProfileScope` to profile functions automatically:
```rust
fn my_function() {
let _scope = ProfileScope::simple("my_function".to_string(), "computation".to_string());
// Your function code here
expensive_computation();
}
```
### Using Profiling Macros
The profiler provides convenient macros for different profiling scenarios:
```rust
use torsh_profiler::*;
// Profile a block of code
profile_block!("matrix_multiply", {
let result = matrix_a * matrix_b;
result
});
// Profile a function call
profile_function!("data_loading", load_data_from_disk());
// Profile with custom metadata
profile_with_metadata!("gpu_operation", {
operation_count: 1000,
bytes_transferred: 1024 * 1024,
flops: 2_000_000
}, {
gpu_kernel_launch();
});
// Profile asynchronously
profile_async!("async_download", {
async_download_data().await
});
```
### Memory Profiling
Track memory allocations and detect leaks:
```rust
let mut memory_profiler = MemoryProfiler::new();
memory_profiler.enable();
// Enable leak detection
memory_profiler.set_leak_detection_enabled(true);
// Your code that allocates memory
let data = vec![0u8; 1024 * 1024]; // 1MB allocation
// Check for leaks
let leak_results = memory_profiler.detect_leaks().unwrap();
if !leak_results.potential_leaks.is_empty() {
println!("Found {} potential memory leaks", leak_results.leak_count);
}
```
### GPU Profiling
For CUDA operations:
```rust
let mut cuda_profiler = CudaProfiler::new();
cuda_profiler.enable();
// Profile GPU operations
{
let _event = cuda_profiler.start_timing("kernel_launch").unwrap();
// Launch CUDA kernel
cuda_kernel_launch();
}
// Get GPU statistics
let stats = cuda_profiler.get_stats();
println!("Total kernel launches: {}", stats.kernel_launches);
```
## Advanced Features
### Machine Learning-based Analysis
Use ML algorithms to analyze performance patterns:
```rust
let config = MLAnalysisConfig::default();
let mut analyzer = MLAnalyzer::new(config);
// Create performance data from profiling events
let events = profiler.lock().unwrap().get_events();
let features = analyzer.extract_features(&events).unwrap();
analyzer.add_features(features).unwrap();
// Perform clustering to identify performance patterns
analyzer.train_clustering().unwrap();
let clusters = analyzer.get_clusters();
// Detect anomalies
let anomaly_result = analyzer.detect_anomaly(&features).unwrap();
if anomaly_result.is_anomaly {
println!("Performance anomaly detected! Score: {}", anomaly_result.anomaly_score);
}
// Get optimization suggestions
let suggestions = analyzer.get_optimization_suggestions(&features);
for suggestion in suggestions {
println!("💡 {}", suggestion);
}
```
### Regression Detection
Monitor performance over time and detect regressions:
```rust
let mut detector = RegressionDetector::new();
// Add baseline measurements
for i in 0..100 {
detector.add_measurement("matrix_multiply", 100.0 + (i as f64)).unwrap();
}
// Update baselines
detector.update_baselines().unwrap();
// Check for regressions
let result = detector.check_regression("matrix_multiply", 150.0).unwrap();
if let Some(regression) = result {
println!("Regression detected: {:?} ({}% slower)",
regression.severity, regression.percentage_change);
for recommendation in regression.recommendations {
println!("📋 {}", recommendation);
}
}
```
### Distributed Profiling
For multi-node distributed applications:
```rust
// Initialize distributed profiling
init_distributed_profiling().unwrap();
// Add cluster nodes
add_cluster_node("worker1", "192.168.1.100:8080").unwrap();
add_cluster_node("worker2", "192.168.1.101:8080").unwrap();
// Record distributed events
record_distributed_event("data_transfer", "worker1", "worker2", 1024).unwrap();
// Analyze distributed performance
let analysis = analyze_distributed_performance().unwrap();
println!("Network efficiency: {:.2}%", analysis.network_analysis.efficiency);
```
### Custom Tool Integration
Integrate with external profiling tools:
```rust
// NVIDIA Nsight integration
let nsight_config = NsightConfig::default();
let mut nsight_profiler = create_nsight_profiler_with_config(nsight_config);
nsight_profiler.start_profiling().unwrap();
// Your GPU code here
nsight_profiler.stop_profiling().unwrap();
// Intel VTune integration
let vtune_config = VTuneConfig::default();
let mut vtune_profiler = create_vtune_profiler_with_config(vtune_config);
vtune_profiler.start_hotspot_analysis().unwrap();
// Your CPU-intensive code here
vtune_profiler.stop_analysis().unwrap();
```
## Dashboard and Visualization
### Real-time Dashboard
Create a web-based dashboard for real-time monitoring:
```rust
let dashboard_config = DashboardConfig {
port: 8080,
refresh_interval: 5,
real_time_updates: true,
max_data_points: 1000,
enable_stack_traces: true,
custom_css: Some("/* Your custom CSS */".to_string()),
};
let dashboard = create_dashboard_with_config(dashboard_config);
// Start the dashboard server
dashboard.start(profiler.clone(), memory_profiler.clone()).unwrap();
println!("Dashboard available at: http://localhost:8080");
// Add custom alerts
let alert = DashboardAlert {
id: "high_memory".to_string(),
severity: DashboardAlertSeverity::Warning,
title: "High Memory Usage".to_string(),
message: "Memory usage exceeded 80% threshold".to_string(),
timestamp: std::time::SystemTime::now()
.duration_since(std::time::UNIX_EPOCH)
.unwrap()
.as_secs(),
resolved: false,
};
dashboard.add_alert(alert).unwrap();
```
### Static Reports
Generate comprehensive reports in multiple formats:
```rust
let reporting_config = ReportingConfig {
include_performance_analysis: true,
include_memory_analysis: true,
include_recommendations: true,
chart_generation: true,
export_raw_data: true,
};
let mut reporter = create_reporting_engine_with_config(reporting_config);
// Generate different types of reports
reporter.generate_performance_report(&profiler.lock().unwrap(), "performance_report.html").unwrap();
reporter.generate_memory_report(&memory_profiler, "memory_report.html").unwrap();
// Export to different formats
reporter.export_to_pdf("performance_report.html", "report.pdf").unwrap();
reporter.export_to_json(&profiler.lock().unwrap(), "data.json").unwrap();
```
### Visualization
Create interactive charts and visualizations:
```rust
// Generate performance trend charts
export_performance_trend_chart(&profiler.lock().unwrap(), "trend_chart.html").unwrap();
// Create memory usage scatter plots
export_memory_scatter_plot(&memory_profiler, "memory_plot.html").unwrap();
// Generate operation frequency charts
export_operation_frequency_chart(&profiler.lock().unwrap(), "frequency_chart.html").unwrap();
// Create duration histograms
export_duration_histogram(&profiler.lock().unwrap(), "duration_histogram.html").unwrap();
```
## Integration with CI/CD
### Automated Performance Testing
Integrate profiling into your CI/CD pipeline:
```rust
let ci_config = CICDConfig {
platform: CICDPlatform::GitHubActions,
regression_threshold: 10.0, // 10% regression threshold
baseline_branch: "main".to_string(),
report_format: ReportFormat::Html,
fail_on_regression: true,
generate_pr_comments: true,
};
let mut ci_integration = create_cicd_integration_with_config(ci_config);
// Run performance tests
ci_integration.run_performance_tests().unwrap();
// Check for regressions
let regression_results = ci_integration.check_regressions().unwrap();
if !regression_results.is_empty() {
for regression in regression_results {
println!("❌ Regression in {}: {}% slower",
regression.operation, regression.percentage_change);
}
// Generate PR comment
ci_integration.generate_pr_comment().unwrap();
}
```
### Automated Alerts
Set up automated alerts for performance issues:
```rust
let alert_config = AlertConfig {
duration_threshold: Duration::from_millis(100),
memory_threshold: 1024 * 1024 * 1024, // 1GB
throughput_threshold: 1000.0, // operations per second
enable_anomaly_detection: true,
notification_channels: vec![
NotificationChannel::Slack { webhook_url: "https://hooks.slack.com/...".to_string() },
NotificationChannel::Email { recipients: vec!["team@company.com".to_string()] },
],
};
let mut alert_manager = create_alert_manager_with_config(alert_config);
alert_manager.start_monitoring(&profiler, &memory_profiler).unwrap();
```
## Performance Optimization
### Bottleneck Detection
Automatically identify performance bottlenecks:
```rust
let bottleneck_results = detect_bottlenecks(&profiler.lock().unwrap(), &memory_profiler).unwrap();
for bottleneck in bottleneck_results.bottlenecks {
println!("🚨 Bottleneck detected in {}: {}", bottleneck.operation, bottleneck.description);
println!(" Severity: {:?}", bottleneck.severity);
println!(" Impact: {:.1}% of total time", bottleneck.impact_percentage);
for recommendation in bottleneck.recommendations {
println!(" 💡 {}", recommendation);
}
}
```
### Efficiency Analysis
Analyze overall system efficiency:
```rust
let efficiency_results = analyze_efficiency(&profiler.lock().unwrap(), &memory_profiler).unwrap();
println!("System Efficiency Report:");
println!(" CPU Efficiency: {:.1}%", efficiency_results.cpu_efficiency);
println!(" Memory Efficiency: {:.1}%", efficiency_results.memory_efficiency);
println!(" Cache Performance: {:.1}%", efficiency_results.cache_performance);
println!(" Overall Score: {:.1}/100", efficiency_results.overall_score);
for suggestion in efficiency_results.optimization_suggestions {
println!(" 📈 {}", suggestion);
}
```
### Workload Characterization
Understand your application's workload characteristics:
```rust
let workload_analysis = analyze_workload(&profiler.lock().unwrap()).unwrap();
println!("Workload Analysis:");
println!(" Type: {:?}", workload_analysis.workload_type);
println!(" Compute Intensity: {:.2}", workload_analysis.compute_characteristics.arithmetic_intensity);
println!(" Memory Bandwidth Utilization: {:.1}%", workload_analysis.memory_patterns.bandwidth_utilization);
println!(" Parallelization Efficiency: {:.1}%", workload_analysis.parallelism_analysis.efficiency);
for recommendation in workload_analysis.optimization_recommendations {
println!(" 🎯 {} (Priority: {:?})", recommendation.description, recommendation.priority);
}
```
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
#### High Profiling Overhead
```rust
// Use sampling to reduce overhead
let sampling_config = SamplingConfig {
sampling_rate: 0.1, // Sample 10% of operations
adaptive_sampling: true,
min_duration_threshold: Duration::from_micros(100),
};
let optimized_profiler = create_optimized_profiler_with_config(sampling_config);
```
#### Memory Issues
```rust
// Enable memory pooling for reduced allocations
let mut memory_profiler = MemoryProfiler::new();
memory_profiler.set_memory_pool_size(1024 * 1024 * 1024); // 1GB pool
// Use compact events to reduce memory usage
init_optimized_profiling().unwrap();
```
#### Large Data Exports
```rust
// Use streaming export for large datasets
let export_config = CustomExportFormat {
format: ExportFormat::Csv,
compression: Some(CompressionType::Gzip),
streaming: true,
batch_size: 10000,
};
export_with_config(&profiler.lock().unwrap(), "large_data.csv.gz", export_config).unwrap();
```
### Performance Tips
1. **Use Scoped Profiling**: Always use RAII-based profiling (`ProfileScope`) to ensure proper cleanup.
2. **Enable Profiling Conditionally**: Use feature flags or environment variables to enable profiling only when needed.
3. **Monitor Overhead**: Use the built-in overhead tracking to ensure profiling doesn't impact performance significantly.
4. **Batch Operations**: When possible, batch multiple small operations to reduce profiling overhead.
5. **Use Appropriate Sampling**: For high-frequency operations, use sampling to reduce overhead.
### Debugging
Enable debug logging to troubleshoot issues:
```rust
// Set environment variable
std::env::set_var("TORSH_PROFILER_LOG", "debug");
// Or use tracing directly
use tracing::{info, debug, error};
debug!("Profiling operation: {}", operation_name);
```
## Best Practices
1. **Start Simple**: Begin with basic function profiling before moving to advanced features.
2. **Measure First**: Always establish baseline performance before optimization.
3. **Profile in Production**: Use low-overhead profiling in production environments.
4. **Automate Analysis**: Set up automated regression detection and alerts.
5. **Document Results**: Keep track of optimizations and their impact.
6. **Team Collaboration**: Share profiling results and dashboards with your team.
