  <p>This tutorial introduces techniques we used to profile and tune the
CPU performance of PaddlePaddle.  We will use Python packages
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">cProfile</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">yep</span></code>, and Google <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">perftools</span></code>.</p>
<p>Profiling is the process that reveals the performance bottlenecks,
which could be very different from what&#8217;s in the developers&#8217; mind.
Performance tuning is to fix the bottlenecks. Performance optimization
repeats the steps of profiling and tuning alternatively.</p>
<p>PaddlePaddle users program AI by calling the Python API, which calls
into <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">libpaddle.so.</span></code> written in C++.  In this tutorial, we focus on
the profiling and tuning of</p>
<ol class="simple">
<li>the Python code and</li>
<li>the mixture of Python and C++ code.</li>
</ol>

<span id="generate-the-performance-profiling-file"></span><h2>Generate the Performance Profiling File<a class="headerlink" href="#generate-the-performance-profiling-file" title="永久链接至标题"></a></h2>
<p>We can use Python standard
package, <a class="reference external" href="https://docs.python.org/2/library/profile.html"><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">cProfile</span></code></a>,
to generate Python profiling file.  For example:</p>
226 227 228
<div class="highlight-bash"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>python -m cProfile -o profile.out main.py
</pre></div>
</div>
229 230 231
<p>where <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">main.py</span></code> is the program we are going to profile, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-o</span></code> specifies
the output file.  Without <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-o</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">cProfile</span></code> would outputs to standard
output.</p>

<p><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">cProfile</span></code> generates <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">profile.out</span></code> after <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">main.py</span></code> completes. We can
use <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/ymichael/cprofilev"><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">cprofilev</span></code></a> to look into
the details:</p>

<div class="highlight-bash"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>cprofilev -a <span class="m">0</span>.0.0.0 -p <span class="m">3214</span> -f profile.out main.py
</pre></div>
</div>
241 242 243 244 245 246 247 248 249
<p>where <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-a</span></code> specifies the HTTP IP, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-p</span></code> specifies the port, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-f</span></code>
specifies the profiling file, and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">main.py</span></code> is the source file.</p>
<p>Open the Web browser and points to the local IP and the specifies
port, we will see the output like the following:</p>

explain how to profile C++ code in the next section.  At the right
moment, let&#8217;s look into the third function <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">sync_with_cpp</span></code>, which is a
Python function.  We can click it to understand more about it:</p>

<p>To profile a mixture of Python and C++ code, we can use a Python
package, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">yep</span></code>, that can work with Google&#8217;s <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">perftools</span></code>, which is a
commonly-used profiler for C/C++ code.</p>
<p>In Ubuntu systems, we can install <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">yep</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">perftools</span></code> by running the
following commands:</p>
<div class="highlight-bash"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>apt update
apt install libgoogle-perftools-dev
312 313 314
pip install yep
</pre></div>
</div>
315
<p>Then we can run the following command</p>
316 317 318
<div class="highlight-bash"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>python -m yep -v main.py
</pre></div>
</div>
319 320 321 322 323 324 325
<p>to generate the profiling file.  The default filename is
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">main.py.prof</span></code>.</p>
<p>Please be aware of the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-v</span></code> command line option, which prints the
analysis results after generating the profiling file.  By taking a
glance at the print result, we&#8217;d know that if we stripped debug
information from <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">libpaddle.so</span></code> at build time.  The following hints
help make sure that the analysis results are readable:</p>
326
<ol class="simple">
327 328 329 330 331 332 333 334 335 336 337 338
<li>Use GCC command line option <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-g</span></code> when building <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">libpaddle.so</span></code> so to
include the debug information.  The standard building system of
PaddlePaddle is CMake, so you might want to set
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo</span></code>.</li>
<li>Use GCC command line option <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-O2</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-O3</span></code> to generate optimized
binary code. It doesn&#8217;t make sense to profile <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">libpaddle.so</span></code>
without optimization, because it would anyway run slowly.</li>
<li>Profiling the single-threaded binary file before the
multi-threading version, because the latter often generates tangled
profiling analysis result.  You might want to set environment
variable <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">OMP_NUM_THREADS=1</span></code> to prevents OpenMP from automatically
starting multiple threads.</li>

<div class="section" id="look-into-the-profiling-file">
<span id="id1"></span><h2>Look into the Profiling File<a class="headerlink" href="#look-into-the-profiling-file" title="永久链接至标题"></a></h2>
<p>The tool we used to look into the profiling file generated by
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">perftools</span></code> is <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/google/pprof"><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">pprof</span></code></a>, which
provides a Web-based GUI like <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">cprofilev</span></code>.</p>
<p>We can rely on the standard Go toolchain to retrieve the source code
of <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">pprof</span></code> and build it:</p>
348 349 350
<div class="highlight-bash"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>go get github.com/google/pprof
</pre></div>
</div>
351 352
<p>Then we can use it to profile <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">main.py.prof</span></code> generated in the previous
section:</p>
353 354 355
<div class="highlight-bash"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>pprof -http<span class="o">=</span><span class="m">0</span>.0.0.0:3213 <span class="sb">`</span>which python<span class="sb">`</span>  ./main.py.prof
</pre></div>
</div>
356 357 358
<p>Where <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-http</span></code> specifies the IP and port of the HTTP service.
Directing our Web browser to the service, we would see something like
the following:</p>
359 360
<p><img alt="result" src="../../_images/pprof_1.png" /></p>
</div>
361 362 363 364
<div class="section" id="identifying-the-performance-bottlenecks">
<span id="identifying-the-performance-bottlenecks"></span><h2>Identifying the Performance Bottlenecks<a class="headerlink" href="#identifying-the-performance-bottlenecks" title="永久链接至标题"></a></h2>
<p>Similar to how we work with <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">cprofilev</span></code>, we&#8217;d focus on <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">tottime</span></code> and
<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">cumtime</span></code>.</p>
365
<p><img alt="kernel_perf" src="../../_images/pprof_2.png" /></p>
366 367 368 369 370 371
<p>We can see that the execution time of multiplication and the computing
of the gradient of multiplication takes 2% to 4% of the total running
time, and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">MomentumOp</span></code> takes about 17%. Obviously, we&#8217;d want to
optimize <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">MomentumOp</span></code>.</p>
<p><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">pprof</span></code> would mark performance critical parts of the program in
red. It&#8217;s a good idea to follow the hint.</p>
