Application profiling
Profiling works by monitoring and analyzing the performance of an application at runtime. Profilers instrument code and intercept calls to collect performance measurements, such as elapsed time and the number of invocations. It can generate the stack trace of the application to visualize relationships between functions.
The profiler tool also monitors memory allocation and deallocation, analyzes the heap dump, and identifies potential memory leaks.
At the same time, the profiler tool measures CPU cycles that have been consumed by various parts of the code and identifies computing-intensive functions. The profiler tool also monitors the usage of other resources, such as file operations, network activities, and interactions, among threads to provide a comprehensive view of resource utilization.
The profiler tool comes with detailed reports that are visualized in the user interface to assist engineers in pinpointing the areas that require optimization.
