Gperf memory and cpu analysis

The valgrind is a very good memory and cpu profile tool, SRS support it.

The gperf is a project of google, to analysis memory and cpu, base on tcmalloc. SRS can use gperf.

The use scenarios:

gmc memory check

To use gmc for SRS:

  • When configure gmc: ./configure --with-gperf --with-gmc
  • Compile srs: make
  • Set env when start SRS: env PPROF_PATH=./objs/pprof HEAPCHECK=normal ./objs/srs -c conf/srs.conf
  • Stop SRS, get the gmc report: press CTRL+C or send SIGINT to SRS.

Note: When make SRS success, it will show these commands.

It work when SRS print the following message:

[winlin@dev6 srs]$ env PPROF_PATH=./objs/pprof HEAPCHECK=normal ./objs/srs -c conf/srs.conf
WARNING: Perftools heap leak checker is active -- Performance may suffer

The gmc report:

Leak check _main_ detected leaks of 184 bytes in 4 objects
The 4 largest leaks:
Using local file ./objs/srs.
Leak of 56 bytes in 1 objects allocated from:
	@ 46fae8 _st_stack_new
	@ 46f6b1 st_thread_create
	@ 46ea65 st_init
	@ 433f41 SrsServer::initialize
	@ 46e4ca main
	@ 3855a1ec5d __libc_start_main

GMP memory profile

To use gmp for SRS:

  • Configure SRS: ./configure --with-gperf --with-gmp
  • Build SRS: make
  • Start SRS for memory profile: rm -f gperf.srs.gmp*; ./objs/srs -c conf/srs.conf
  • Stop SRS to generate gmp file, press CTRL+C or send SIGINT to SRS.
  • Analysis gmp file: ./objs/pprof --text objs/srs gperf.srs.gmp*

Note: When make SRS success, it will show these commands.

It works when SRS show the messages:

[winlin@dev6 srs]$ ./objs/srs -c conf/srs.conf
Starting tracking the heap

The gmc result:

[winlin@dev6 srs]$ ./objs/pprof --text objs/srs gperf.srs.gmp*
Using local file objs/srs.

GCP cpu profile

To use gmp for SRS:

  • Configure with gcp: ./configure --with-gperf --with-gcp
  • Build SRS: make
  • Start SRS with gcp: rm -f gperf.srs.gcp*; ./objs/srs -c conf/srs.conf
  • Stop SRS to generate the gcp file, press CTRL+C or send SIGINT to SRS.
  • Analysis gcp file: ./objs/pprof --text objs/srs gperf.srs.gcp*

Note: When make SRS success, it will show these commands.

The gcp result:

[winlin@dev6 srs]$ ./objs/pprof --text objs/srs gperf.srs.gcp*
Using local file objs/srs.
Using local file gperf.srs.gcp.
