Profiling projects like a pro

NODE Institute Workshops requests

What do you want to learn in this workshop?

Profiling patches using well known external tools such as dotTrace or dotMemory.

  • What are the tools we can use to profile our patches
  • When to use which, how they differ
  • Patching something super stupid simple (an addition in a ForEach loop for instance) and see how that “translates” in a profiling tool
  • Finding weak/expensive spots in our patches, finding leaks
  • Comparing memory snapshots
  • How to avoid pressure on the garbage collector
    • How to inspect garbage collections (L1/L2) and find their origin
  • Proper memory management (e.g. when using images: allocating/disposing and understanding who is responsible)

Would it make sense to also discuss debugging (using VS) ?

What techniques, ideas, concepts are you expecting to be covered?

Using dotTrace, dotMemory or any other similar tool to debug/inspect/profile .NET apps

Do you have an idea who you want this workshop to be hosted by?*

Probably @Elias :)

would it make sense to add the “debugging” topic here? (thinking: howto debug using visual studio).

also related to profiling:

  • how to avoid pressure on the garbage collector
    • howto inspect garbage collections (L1/L2) and find their origin
  • proper memory management (e.g. when using images: allocating/disposing and understanding who is responsible)

Indeed! Will add those to the original post for clarity. Thanks for the suggestions!
