Where can I find information about profiler help?

[bluegodg]

I am conducting an analysis on the memory profile and time profile of ddlog, and I noticed a link to the profiler help in the wiki: https://github.com/vmware/differential-datalog/wiki/Profiler-Help But I found no relevant content in the link. Where can I find Profile Help related information?

Hi @bluegodg ! Unfortunately, we never wrote those docs. The project is no longer maintained, but you can find some profiler docs here.

Alright, thanks for your response. I'm wondering now, what is the unit of the size value in the "Arrange size profile"? Is it in bytes?

[ryzhyk]

It's the number of records. I don't think we had a way to report size in bytes in ddlog.

[bluegodg]

Can I obtain the size of byte units by simply adding up the byte sizes ofeach field type in the Record?

In Rust that's only an approximation. There is a sizeof crate which is more precise

There's also per-record metadata overhead whose size can vary across different collections. 32 bytes is probably a reasonable ballpark estimate.
