NAME¶

tfprof - profile a Taskflow program

SYNOPSIS¶

tfprof [options]

DESCRIPTION¶

tfprof is a program that visualises and profiles programs compiled using Taskflow. The program should be compiled using cmake with the option -D TF_BUILD_PROFILER=ON, and then run with an environment variable specifying the profile data output file, for example under the build directory:

$ cmake ../ -D TF_BUILD_PROFILER=ON
$ make
$ TF_ENABLE_PROFILER=my_taskflow.tfp ./my_taskflow

The profiler is then run to visualise the output, for example

$ tfprof --input my_taskflow.tfp

and the results can be seen at http://localhost:8080/

OPTIONS¶

-i, --input
