<p>Dashed lines divide the report into entries, with one entry per method.

194

Entries are sorted by total time which is the time spent in the method
|
195
|
+
plus its children.</p>
|
196
|
+
|
197
|
+
<p>Each entry has a primary line demarked by values in the %total and %self
|
198
|
+
columns. The primary line represents the method being profiled. Lines
|
199
|
+
above it are the methods that called this method (parents) while the lines
|
200
|
+
below it are the methods it called (children).</p>
|
201
|
+
|
202
|
+
<p>All values are in seconds. For the primary line, the columns represent:</p>
|
203
|
+
|
204
|
+
<pre>%total - The percentage of time spent in this method and its children
|
205
|
+
%self - The percentage of time spent in this method
|
206
|
+
total - The time spent in this method and its children.
|
207
|
+
self - The time spent in this method.
|
208
|
+
children - The time spent in this method's children.
|
209
|
+
calls - The number of times this method was called.
|
210
|
+
name - The name of the method.</pre>
|
211
|
+
|
212
|
+
<p>The interpretation of method names is:</p>
|
213
|
+
<ul><li>
|
214
|
+
<p>toplevel - The root method that calls all other methods</p>
|
215
|
+
</li><li>
|
216
|
+
<p>MyObject#test - An instance method “test” of the class “MyObject”</p>
|
217
|
+
</li><li>
|
218
|
+
<p><Object:MyObject>#test - The <> characters indicate a singleton
|
219
|
+
method on a singleton class.</p>
|
220
|
+
</li></ul>
|
221
|
+
|
222
|
+
<p>For example, we see that 99.48% of the time was spent in Integer#upto and
|
223
|
+
its children. Of that time, 4.06 seconds was spent in Integer#upto itself
|
224
|
+
and 4.66 in its children. Overall, Integer#upto was called 501 times.</p>

<p>In each entry, the lines above the primary line are the methods that

called the current method. If the current method is a root method then no
|
230
|
+
parents are shown.</p>
|
231
|
+
|
232
|
+
<p>For parent lines, the columns represent:</p>
|
233
|
+
|
234
|
+
<pre>total - The time spent in the current method and it children on behalf of the parent method.
|
235
|
+
self - The time spent in this method on behalf of the parent method.
|
236
|
+
children - The time spent in this method's children on behalf of the parent.
|
237
|
+
calls - The number of times the parent method called this child</pre>
|
238
|
+
|
239
|
+
<p>Looking at Integer#upto again, we see that it was called 500 times from
|
240
|
+
Object#is_prime and 1 time from find_largest. Of the 8.72 total seconds
|
241
|
+
spent in Integer#upto, 6.63 were done for Object#is_prime and 2.09 for
|
242
|
+
Object#find_largest.</p>

<h2 id="label-Children">Children<span><a href="#label-Children">¶</a> <a href="#top">↑</a></span></h2>
|
245
|
+
|
246
|
+
<p>In each entry, the lines below the primary line are the methods that the
|
247
|
+
current method called. If the current method is a leaf method then no
|
248
|
+
children are shown.</p>
|
249
|
+
|
250
|
+
<p>For children lines, the columns represent:</p>
|
251
|
+
|
252
|
+
<pre>total - The time spent in the child, and its children, on behalf of the current method
|
253
|
+
self - The time spent in the child on behalf of the current method.
|
254
|
+
children - The time spent in the child's children (ie, granchildren) in behalf of the current method
|
255
|
+
calls - The number of times the child method was called by the current method.</pre>
|
256
|
+
|
257
|
+
<p>Taking our example of Integer#upto, we see that it called five other
|
258
|
+
methods - Array#[], Fixnum#>, Kernel.sleep, Fixnum#= and Fixnum#%.
|
259
|
+
Looking at Kernel.sleep, we see that its spent 2.09 seconds working for
|
260
|
+
Integer#upto and its children spent 0 time working for Integer#upto. To
|
261
|
+
see the overall time Kernel.sleep took we would have to look up its entry
|
262
|
+
in the graph table.</p>

<p>ruby-prof is a fast code profiler for Ruby. Its features include:</p>
|
138
|
+
<ul><li>
|
139
|
+
<p>Speed - it is a C extension and therefore many times faster than the
|
140
|
+
standard Ruby profiler.</p>
|
141
|
+
</li><li>
|
142
|
+
<p>Modes - Ruby prof can measure a number of different parameters, including
|
143
|
+
call times, memory usage and object allocations.</p>
|
144
|
+
</li><li>
|
145
|
+
<p>Reports - can generate text and cross-referenced html reports</p>
|
146
|
+
<ul><li>
|
147
|
+
<p>Flat Profiles - similar to the reports generated by the standard Ruby
|
148
|
+
profiler</p>
|
149
|
+
</li><li>
|
150
|
+
<p>Graph profiles - similar to GProf, these show how long a method runs, which
|
151
|
+
methods call it and which methods it calls.</p>
|
152
|
+
</li><li>
|
153
|
+
<p>Call tree profiles - outputs results in the calltree format suitable for
|
154
|
+
the KCacheGrind profiling tool.</p>
|
155
|
+
</li><li>
|
156
|
+
<p>Many more – see reports section of this <a
|
157
|
+
href="README_rdoc.html">README</a>.</p>
|
158
|
+
</li></ul>
|
159
|
+
</li><li>
|
160
|
+
<p>Threads - supports profiling multiple threads simultaneously</p>
|
161
|
+
</li></ul>

|
164
|
+
|
165
|
+
<p>ruby-prof requires Ruby 1.9.3 or higher.</p>
|
166
|
+
|
167
|
+
<p>If you are running Linux or Unix you'll need a C compiler so the
|
168
|
+
extension can be compiled when it is installed.</p>
|
169
|
+
|
170
|
+
<p>If you are running Windows, then you may need to install the Windows
|
171
|
+
specific RubyGem which includes an already built extension (see Install
|
172
|
+
section).</p>
|
173
|
+
|
174
|
+
<h2 id="label-Install">Install<span><a href="#label-Install">¶</a> <a href="#top">↑</a></span></h2>
|
175
|
+
|
176
|
+
<p>The easiest way to install ruby-prof is by using Ruby Gems. To install:</p>
|
177
|
+
|
178
|
+
<pre class="ruby"><span class="ruby-identifier">gem</span> <span class="ruby-identifier">install</span> <span class="ruby-identifier">ruby</span><span class="ruby-operator">-</span><span class="ruby-identifier">prof</span>
|
179
|
+
</pre>
|
180
|
+
|
181
|
+
<p>If you're on windows then please install the devkit first so that it
|
182
|
+
can compile.</p>
|
183
|
+
|
184
|
+
<h2 id="label-Usage">Usage<span><a href="#label-Usage">¶</a> <a href="#top">↑</a></span></h2>
|
185
|
+
|
186
|
+
<p>There are two ways of running ruby-prof, via the command line or via its
|
187
|
+
API.</p>
|
188
|
+
|
189
|
+
<h3 id="label-ruby-prof+executable">ruby-prof executable<span><a href="#label-ruby-prof+executable">¶</a> <a href="#top">↑</a></span></h3>
|
190
|
+
|
191
|
+
<p>The first is to use ruby-prof to run the Ruby program you want to profile.
|
192
|
+
For more information refer to the documentation of the ruby-prof command.</p>
|
193
|
+
|
194
|
+
<h3 id="label-ruby-prof+API">ruby-prof API<span><a href="#label-ruby-prof+API">¶</a> <a href="#top">↑</a></span></h3>
|
195
|
+
|
196
|
+
<p>The second way is to use the ruby-prof API to profile particular segments
|
197
|
+
of code.</p>
|
198
|
+
|
199
|
+
<pre>require 'ruby-prof'
|
200
|
+
|
201
|
+
# Profile the code
|
202
|
+
RubyProf.start
|
203
|
+
...
|
204
|
+
[code to profile]
|
205
|
+
...
|
206
|
+
result = RubyProf.stop
|
207
|
+
|
208
|
+
# Print a flat profile to text
|
209
|
+
printer = RubyProf::FlatPrinter.new(result)
|
210
|
+
printer.print(STDOUT)</pre>
|
211
|
+
|
212
|
+
<p>Alternatively, you can use a block to tell ruby-prof what to profile:</p>
|
213
|
+
|
214
|
+
<pre>require 'ruby-prof'
|
215
|
+
|
216
|
+
# Profile the code
|
217
|
+
result = RubyProf.profile do
|
218
|
+
...
|
219
|
+
[code to profile]
|
220
|
+
...
|
221
|
+
end
|
222
|
+
|
223
|
+
# Print a graph profile to text
|
224
|
+
printer = RubyProf::GraphPrinter.new(result)
|
225
|
+
printer.print(STDOUT, {})</pre>
|
226
|
+
|
227
|
+
<p>ruby-prof also supports pausing and resuming profiling runs.</p>
|
228
|
+
|
229
|
+
<pre>require 'ruby-prof'
|
230
|
+
|
231
|
+
# Profile the code
|
232
|
+
RubyProf.start
|
233
|
+
[code to profile]
|
234
|
+
RubyProf.pause
|
235
|
+
[other code]
|
236
|
+
RubyProf.resume
|
237
|
+
[code to profile]
|
238
|
+
result = RubyProf.stop</pre>
|
239
|
+
|
240
|
+
<p>Note that resume will automatically call start if a profiling run has not
|
241
|
+
yet started. In addition, resume can also take a block:</p>
|
242
|
+
|
243
|
+
<pre>require 'ruby-prof'
|
244
|
+
|
245
|
+
# Profile the code
|
246
|
+
RubyProf.resume do
|
247
|
+
[code to profile]
|
248
|
+
end
|
249
|
+
|
250
|
+
data = RubyProf.stop</pre>
|
251
|
+
|
252
|
+
<p>With this usage, resume will automatically call pause at the end of the
|
253
|
+
block.</p>
|
254
|
+
|
255
|
+
<h2 id="label-Method+and+Thread+Elimination">Method and Thread Elimination<span><a href="#label-Method+and+Thread+Elimination">¶</a> <a href="#top">↑</a></span></h2>
|
256
|
+
|
257
|
+
<p>ruby-prof supports eliminating specific methods and threads from profiling
|
258
|
+
results. This is useful for reducing connectivity in the call graph, making
|
259
|
+
it easier to identify the source of performance problems when using a graph
|
260
|
+
printer.</p>
|
261
|
+
|
262
|
+
<p>For example, consider Integer#times: it's hardly ever useful to know
|
263
|
+
how much time is spent in the method itself. We're much more interested
|
264
|
+
in how much the passed in block contributes to the time spent in the method
|

<p>Methods are eliminated from the collected data by calling

`eliminate_methods!` on the profiling result, before submitting it to a

<p>The argument given to `eliminate_methods!` is either an array of regular

expressions, or the name of a file containing a list of regular expressions

(line separated text).</p>
|
278
|

|
279
|

<p>After eliminating methods the resulting profile will appear exactly as if

those methods had been inlined at their call sites.</p>
|
281
|
+
|
282
|
+
<p>In a similar manner, threads can be excluded so they are not profiled at
|
283
|
+
all. To do this, pass an array of threads to exclude to ruby-prof:</p>
|
284

|
285

<pre class="ruby"><span class="ruby-constant">RubyProf</span><span class="ruby-operator">::</span><span class="ruby-identifier">exclude_threads</span> = [ <span class="ruby-identifier">thread2</span> ]

|
287
|

</pre>
|

<p>Note that the excluded threads must be specified <strong>before</strong>

<p>If you want to get a more accurate measurement of what takes all of a

gem's bin/xxx command to load, you may want to also measure

rubygems' startup penalty. You can do this by calling into

297

bin/ruby-prof directly, ex:</p>
|

299
|

<p>$ gem which ruby-prof</p>

<p>now run it thus (substitute lib/ruby-prof.rb with bin/ruby-prof):</p>
|
304
|

|
305

<p>$ ruby g:/192/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/ruby-prof-0.10.2/bin/ruby-prof

315
|
+
<p>To profile a Rails application it is vital to run it using production like
|
316
|
+
settings (cache classes, cache view lookups, etc.). Otherwise, Rail's
|
317
|
+
dependency loading code will overwhelm any time spent in the application
|
318
|
+
itself (our tests show that Rails dependency loading causes a roughly 6x
|
319
|
+
slowdown). The best way to do this is create a new Rails environment,
|
320
|
+
profile.rb.</p>
|
321
|
+
|
322
|
+
<p>So to profile Rails:</p>
|
323
|
+
<ol><li>
|
324
|
+
<p>Create a new profile.rb environment. Make sure to turn on cache_classes
|
325
|
+
and cache_template_loading. Otherwise your profiling results will be
|
326
|
+
overwhelemed by the time Rails spends loading required files. You should
|
327
|
+
likely turn off caching.</p>
|
328
|
+
</li><li>
|
329
|
+
<p>Add the ruby-prof to your gemfile:</p>
|
330
|
+
|
331
|
+
<pre class="ruby"><span class="ruby-identifier">group</span> :<span class="ruby-identifier">profile</span> <span class="ruby-keyword">do</span>
|
332
|
+
<span class="ruby-identifier">gem</span> <span class="ruby-string">'ruby-prof'</span>
|
333
|
+
<span class="ruby-keyword">end</span>
|
334
|
+
</pre>
|
335
|
+
</li><li>
|
336
|
+
<p>Add the ruby prof rack adapter to your middleware stack. One way to do
|
337
|
+
this is by adding the following code to config.ru:</p>
|
338
|
+
|
339
|
+
<pre class="ruby"><span class="ruby-keyword">if</span> <span class="ruby-constant">Rails</span>.<span class="ruby-identifier">env</span>.<span class="ruby-identifier">profile?</span>
|
340
|
+
<span class="ruby-identifier">use</span> <span class="ruby-constant">Rack</span><span class="ruby-operator">::</span><span class="ruby-constant">RubyProf</span>, :<span class="ruby-identifier">path</span> =<span class="ruby-operator">></span> <span class="ruby-string">'/temp/profile'</span>
|
341
|
+
<span class="ruby-keyword">end</span>
|
342
|
+
</pre>
|
343
|
+
|
344
|
+
<p>The path is where you want profiling results to be stored. By default the
|
345
|
+
rack adapter will generate a html call graph report and flat text report.</p>
|
346
|
+
</li><li>
|
347
|
+
<p>Now make a request to your running server. New profiling information will
|
348
|
+
be generated for each request. Note that each request will overwrite the
|
349
|
+
profiling reports created by the previous request!</p>
|
350
|
+
</li></ol>

|
353
|
+
|
354
|
+
<p>ruby-prof can generate a number of different reports:</p>
|
355
|
+
<ul><li>
|
356
|
+
<p>Flat Reports</p>
|
357
|
+
</li><li>

358
|

<p>Graph Reports</p>
|
359

</li><li>
|
360
|

<p>HTML Graph Reports</p>
|
361
|
+
</li><li>
|
362
|
+
<p>Call graphs</p>
|
363
|
+
</li><li>
|
364

<p>Call stack reports</p>
|
365
|
+
</li><li>
|
366
|
+
<p>More!</p>
|
367
|
+
</li></ul>
|
368
|
+
|
369
|
+
<p>Flat profiles show the overall time spent in each method. They are a good
|
370
|
+
way of quickly identifying which methods take the most time. An example of
|
371
|
+
a flat profile and an explanation can be found in <a
|
372
|
+
href="http://github.com/ruby-prof/ruby-prof/tree/master/examples/flat.txt">examples/flat.txt</a>.</p>
|
373
|
+
|
374
|
+
<p>There are several varieties of these – run $ ruby-prof –help</p>
|
375
|
+
|
376
|
+
<p>Graph profiles also show the overall time spent in each method. In
|
377
|
+
addition, they also show which methods call the current method and which
|
378
|
+
methods its calls. Thus they are good for understanding how methods gets
|
379
|
+
called and provide insight into the flow of your program. An example text
|
380
|
+
graph profile is located at <a
|
381
|
+
href="http://github.com/ruby-prof/ruby-prof/tree/master/examples/graph.txt">examples/graph.txt</a>.</p>
|
382
|
+
|
383
|
+
<p>HTML Graph profiles are the same as graph profiles, except output is
|
384
|
+
generated in hyper-linked HTML. Since graph profiles can be quite large,
|
385
|
+
the embedded links make it much easier to navigate the results. An example
|
386
|
+
html graph profile is located at <a
|
387
|
+
href="http://github.com/ruby-prof/ruby-prof/tree/master/examples/graph.html">examples/graph.html</a>.</p>
|
388
|
+
|
389
|
+
<p>Call graphs output results in the calltree profile format which is used by
|
390
|
+
KCachegrind. Call graph support was generously donated by Carl Shimer. More
|
391
|
+
information about the format can be found at the <a
|
392
|
+
href="http://kcachegrind.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/show.cgi/KcacheGrindCalltreeFormat">KCachegrind</a>
|
393
|
+
site.</p>
|
394
|
+
|
395
|
+
<p>Call stack reports produce a HTML visualization of the time spent in each
|
396
|
+
execution path of the profiled code. An example can be found at <a
|
397
|
+
href="http://github.com/ruby-prof/ruby-prof/tree/master/examples/stack.html">examples/stack.html</a>.</p>
|
398

|
401
|
+
|
402
|
+
<p>Finally, there's a so called MultiPrinter which can generate several
|
403
|
+
reports in one profiling run. See <a
|
404

<p>To use a printer:</p>
|
442
|
+
|
443
|
+
<pre>...
|
444
|
+
result = RubyProf.stop
|

printer = RubyProf::GraphPrinter.new(result)
|
446
|
+
printer.print(STDOUT, :min_percent => 2)</pre>
|
447
|
+
|
448
|
+
<p>The first parameter is any writable IO object such as STDOUT or a file. The
|
449
|
+
second parameter, specifies the minimum percentage a method must take to be
|
450
|
+
printed. Percentages should be specified as integers in the range 0 to
|
451
|
+
100. For more information please see the documentation for the different

452
|
+
printers.</p>
|
453
|
+
|
454
|

filename to the output (GraphPrinter only).</p>
|
456
|

of a Ruby program. Supported measurements include:</p>
|
468

<p>Wall time measures the real-world time elapsed between any two moments. If
|
485
|
+
there are other processes concurrently running on the system that use
|
486
|
+
significant CPU or disk time during a profiling run then the reported
|
487
|
+
results will be larger than expected.</p>
|
488
|
+
|
489
|
+
<p>Process time measures the time used by a process between any two moments.
|
490
|
+
It is unaffected by other processes concurrently running on the system.
|
491
|
+
Note that Windows does not support measuring process times.</p>
|
492
|
+
|
493
|
+
<p>CPU time uses the CPU clock counter to measure time. The returned values
|
494
|
+
are dependent on the correctly setting the CPU's frequency. This mode
|
495
|
+
is only supported on Pentium or PowerPC platforms (linux only).</p>
|
496
|
+
|
497
|
+
<p>Object allocation reports show how many objects each method in a program
|
498
|
+
allocates. This support was added by Sylvain Joyeux and requires a patched
|
499
|
+
Ruby interpreter. See below.</p>
|
500
|
+
|
501
|
+
<p>Memory usage reports show how much memory each method in a program uses.
|
502
|
+
This support was added by Alexander Dymo and requires a patched Ruby
|
503
|
+
interpreter. See below.</p>
|
504
|
+
|
505
|
+
<p>Garbage collection time reports how much time is spent in Ruby's
|
506
|
+
garbage collector during a profiling session. This support was added by
|
507
|
+
Jeremy Kemper and requires a patched Ruby interpreter. See below.</p>
|
508
|
+
|
509
|

<p>On Linux, process time is measured using the clock method provided by the C
|
562
|
+
runtime library. Note that the clock method does not report time spent in
|
563
|
+
the kernel or child processes and therefore does not measure time spent in
|
564
|
+
methods such as Kernel.sleep method. If you need to measure these values,
|
565
|
+
then use wall time. Wall time is measured using the gettimeofday kernel
|
566
|
+
method.</p>
|
567
|
+
|
568
|
+
<p>If you set the clock mode to PROCESS_TIME, then timings are read using the
|
569
|
+
clock method provided by the C runtime library. Note though, these values
|
570
|
+
are wall times on Windows and not process times like on Linux. Wall time
|
571
|
+
is measured using the GetLocalTime API.</p>
|
572
|
+
|
573
|
+
<p>If you use wall time, the results will be affected by other processes
|
574
|
+
running on your computer, network delays, disk access, etc. As result, for
|
575
|
+
the best results, try to make sure your computer is only performing your
|
576
|
+
profiling run and is otherwise quiescent.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, Ruby does not provide an internal api for detecting thread
|
581
|
+
context switches in 1.8. As a result, the timings ruby-prof reports for
|
582
|
+
each thread may be slightly inaccurate. In particular, this will happen
|
583
|
+
for newly spawned threads that go to sleep immediately (their first call).
|
584
|
+
For instance, if you use Ruby's timeout library to wait for 2 seconds,
|
585
|
+
the 2 seconds will be assigned to the foreground thread and not the newly
|
586
|
+
created background thread. These errors can largely be avoided if the
|
587
|
+
background thread performs any operation before going to sleep.</p>

<p>Significant effort has been put into reducing ruby-prof's overhead as
|
592
|
+
much as possible. Our tests show that the overhead associated with
|
593
|
+
profiling code varies considerably with the code being profiled. Most
|
594
|
+
programs will run approximately twice as slow while highly recursive
|
595
|
+
programs (like the fibonacci series test) will run three times slower.</p>
