how to profile C program performance

About this subtrack

Profiling and Measurement teaches timers, counters, and flame-graph thinking before you "optimize" anything.

Tasks (8)

Benchmark Programs Using time, perf stat, and hyperfine

Generate Flamegraph Using perf record and Flamegraph.pl

Understand CPU Performance Counters: Cycles, Cache Misses, Branch Mispredictions

Implement High-Resolution Timer Using clock_gettime

Write Microbenchmark Framework with Warmup and Statistics

Identify and Avoid Common Benchmarking Pitfalls
