Profiling with Flame Graphs

[mbtaylor]

Flame Graphs are a neat tool for finding out where your code is spending time/resources, which you need to know if you want to improve performance.

Generating them tends to be quite platform-specific, but I could give an introduction to what they look like and show some examples.

Hi Mark! Would you be available to lead a discussion on this on the 15th of March?

[mbtaylor]

Will do.

@fjebaker I was going to add a repository here with some presentation materials; I think I need to be an astro-group-bristol member for that, can you fix it for me?

[fjebaker]

@mbtaylor You should have received an invite now!
