Transcript

1. You, latency and profiling Filippo Valsorda — @FiloSo/le

2. What is fast?

3. A fast hash… … can hash many MB per second

4. A fast regex… … can process many MB/s

5. A fast database… … can store many GB per second

6. A fast database… … can store many GB per second

   … or replies to queries in a few ms

7. A fast website… … can handle many requests … or

   loads in a few milliseconds

8. A fast API… … can handle many clients … or

   answers in a few milliseconds

9. Fast is… Throughput and Latency

10. CPU profiling -cpuprofile 
 /debug/pprof/profile

11. SIGPROF CPU profiling

12. runtime/proc.go

13. h>p.Handler 1 Running on CPU h>p.Handler 2 I/O I/O h>p.Handler

    3 I/O h>p.Handler 4 I/O CPU profiling

14. Running on CPU I/O I/O I/O I/O h>p.Handler 1 h>p.Handler

    2 h>p.Handler 3 h>p.Handler 4 CPU profiling

15. I/O Observed latency h>p.Handler 1 CPU profiling

16. func Write(data []byte) { for i := 0; i <

    50; i++ { tmpfile, _ := ioutil.TempFile("", "ex") defer os.Remove(tmpfile.Name()) _, err = tmpfile.Write(data) tmpfile.Close() } } func Hash(data []byte) { for i := 0; i < 50; i++ { sha256.Sum256(data) } }

17. $ time curl http://127.0.0.1:12345/hash-and-write

20. Latency is not all about CPU

21. CPU profiling is for throughput The tracer is for latency

22. $ time curl http://127.0.0.1:12345/write-no-hash

 go tool trace -pprof=syscall

    trace.out > syscall.pprof go tool pprof -web syscall.pprof
23. None

24. The tracer Detailed nanosecond-level log of execuOon events: • gorouOne

    scheduling, blocking • syscalls, network, I/O • garbage collecOon

25. •log files are BIG •25% overhead (aWer Go 1.7) •symbols

    are embedded (Go 1.7) The tracer

26. •Full event context •GorouOne metadata and history •Discrete events, not

    samples Trace vs. profile

27. CPU profiling Total: 20 samples

28. Tracing events

29. import "runtime/trace" 
 import "net/http/pprof" /debug/pprof/trace?seconds=5 The tracer

30. None

31. go tool trace -pprof=TYPE trace.out Supported profile types are: -

    net: network blocking profile - sync: synchronization blocking profile - syscall: syscall blocking profile - sched: scheduler latency profile

32. go tool trace -pprof=syscall trace.out > syscall.pprof go tool pprof

    -web syscall.pprof

33. go tool trace -pprof=syscall trace.out > syscall.pprof go-torch -b syscall.pprof

    && 
 open torch.svg
34. None
35. None

36. -pprof=syscall func Write(data []byte) { for i := 0; i

    < 50; i++ { tmpfile, _ := ioutil.TempFile("", "ex") defer os.Remove(tmpfile.Name()) _, err = tmpfile.Write(data) tmpfile.Close() } }

37. -pprof=sync // Block waits on a channel func Block() {

    <-time.After(1 * time.Second) }

38. -pprof=sync

39. -pprof=sync

40. -pprof=net func Download() []byte { r, err := http.Get("https://golang.org/doc/go1.8") body,

    err := ioutil.ReadAll(r.Body) r.Body.Close() return body }

41. -pprof=net

42. -pprof=net

43. -pprof=net

44. None

45. WriIng our own profile prof := make(map[uint64]pprof.Record) for _, ev

    := range events { if ev.Type != trace.EvGoBlockNet { continue } rec := prof[ev.StkID] rec.Stk = ev.Stk rec.N++ rec.Time += ev.Link.Ts - ev.Ts prof[ev.StkID] = rec } pprof.BuildProfile(prof).Write(os.Stdout)

46. var childG = make(map[uint64]struct{}) var lastGLen int for { for

    _, ev := range events { if ev.Type != trace.EvGoCreate { continue } if _, ok := childG[ev.G]; !ok && !filterStack(ev.Stk, re) { continue } childG[ev.Args[0]] = struct{}{} } if len(childG) == lastGLen { break } lastGLen = len(childG) }

50. Build more tools! • Focus on gorouOne number • Aggregate

    all blocking types • VisualizaOons • …
