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) } }

20. Latency is not all about CPU
21. CPU profiling is for throughput The tracer is for latency

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

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) }
