What To Measure?
![Page 6: Devel::NYTProf v4 201007 (OUTDATED, see 201008)](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052522/554f8317b4c9052a518b4dc3/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
CPU Time vs Real Time
• CPU time- Measures time CPU sent executing your code
- Not (much) affected by other load on system
- Doesn’t include time spent waiting for i/o etc.
• Real time- Measures the elapsed time-of-day
- Your time is affected by other load on system
- Includes time spent waiting for i/o etc.
![Page 7: Devel::NYTProf v4 201007 (OUTDATED, see 201008)](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052522/554f8317b4c9052a518b4dc3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Subroutine vs Statement
• Subroutine Profiling- Measures time between subroutine entry and exit
- That’s the Inclusive time. Exclusive by subtraction.
- Reasonably fast, reasonably small data files
• Problems- Can be confused by funky control flow (goto &sub)
- No insight into where time spent within large subs
- Doesn’t measure code outside of a sub
![Page 8: Devel::NYTProf v4 201007 (OUTDATED, see 201008)](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052522/554f8317b4c9052a518b4dc3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Subroutine vs Statement
• Line/Statement profiling- Measure time from start of one statement to next
- Exclusive time (except includes built-ins & xsubs)
- Fine grained detail
• Problems- Very expensive in CPU & I/O
- Assigns too much time to some statements
- Too much detail for large subs
- Hard to get overall subroutine times
![Page 9: Devel::NYTProf v4 201007 (OUTDATED, see 201008)](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052522/554f8317b4c9052a518b4dc3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

v1 Innovations
• Fork by Adam Kaplan of Devel::FastProf- working at the New York Times
• HTML report borrowed from Devel::Cover
• More accurate: Discounts profiler overheadincluding cost of writing to the file
• Test suite!
![Page 11: Devel::NYTProf v4 201007 (OUTDATED, see 201008)](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052522/554f8317b4c9052a518b4dc3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
v2 Innovations
• Profiles time per block!- Statement times can be aggregated
to enclosing blockand enclosing sub
• Dual Profilers!- Is a statement profiler
and a subroutine profilerconcurrently
![Page 12: Devel::NYTProf v4 201007 (OUTDATED, see 201008)](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052522/554f8317b4c9052a518b4dc3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
v2 Innovations
• Subroutine profiler- tracks subroutine time per calling location
- even for xsubs
- calculates exclusive time on-the-fly
- discounts cost of statement profiler
- immune from funky control flow
- in memory, writes to file at end
- extremely fast
![Page 13: Devel::NYTProf v4 201007 (OUTDATED, see 201008)](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052522/554f8317b4c9052a518b4dc3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
v2 Innovations
• Statement profiler gives correct timing after leave ops- last statement in loops doesn’t accumulate
time spent evaluating the condition
- last statement in subs doesn’t accumulate time spent in remainder of calling statement
- previous statement profilers didn’t fix this
![Page 14: Devel::NYTProf v4 201007 (OUTDATED, see 201008)](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052522/554f8317b4c9052a518b4dc3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
v2 Other Features

• Profiling can be enabled & disabled on the fly
• Handles forks with no overhead
• Correct timing for mod_perl
• Sub-microsecond resolution
• Multiple clocks, including high-res CPU time
• Can snapshot source code & evals into profile
• Built-in zip compression
![Page 15: Devel::NYTProf v4 201007 (OUTDATED, see 201008)](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052522/554f8317b4c9052a518b4dc3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Exclusive vs. Inclusive
• Exclusive Time is best for Bottom Up- Detail of time spent “in the code of this sub”
- Where the time actually gets spent
- Useful for localized (peephole) optimisation
• Inclusive Time is best for Top Down- Overview of time spent “in and below this sub”
- Useful to prioritize structural optimizations

Low Hanging Fruit1. Profile code running representative workload.
2. Look at Exclusive Time of subroutines.
3. Do they look reasonable?
4. Examine worst offenders.
5. Fix only simple local problems.
6. Profile again.
7. Fast enough? Then STOP!
8. Rinse and repeat once or twice, then move on.

Avoid unpacking argsin very hot subs sub foo { shift->delegate(@_) }
sub bar { return shift->{bar} unless @_; return $_[0]->{bar} = $_[1]; }

Fast enough?
STOP!Put the profiler down and walk away

Phase 2Deeper Changes

Profile with aknown workload
E.g., 1000 identical requests
![Page 61: Devel::NYTProf v4 201007 (OUTDATED, see 201008)](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052522/554f8317b4c9052a518b4dc3/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Check Inclusive Times(especially top-level subs)
Reasonable percentagefor the workload?
![Page 62: Devel::NYTProf v4 201007 (OUTDATED, see 201008)](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052522/554f8317b4c9052a518b4dc3/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Check subroutinecall counts
Reasonablefor the workload?

Add cachingif appropriate
to reduce calls
Remember invalidation!

Walk up call chainto find good spots
for caching
Remember invalidation!

Creating many objectsthat don’t get used?
Lightweight proxiese.g. DateTimeX::Lite

Phase 3Structural Changes

Push loops down
- $object->walk($_) for @dogs;
+ $object->walk_these(\@dogs);

Avoid needless closures

Change the data structure
hashes <–> arrays
![Page 71: Devel::NYTProf v4 201007 (OUTDATED, see 201008)](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052522/554f8317b4c9052a518b4dc3/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
Change the algorithm
What’s the “Big O”?O(n2) or O(logn) or ...
