hp2pretty: generate pretty graphs from heap profiles

[ bsd3, development, program ] [ Propose Tags ]

hp2pretty is a rewrite of hp2ps, implemented in Haskell, with the aims of being maintainable, with more flexible output, and more beautiful output. Currently hp2pretty outputs Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) only, though PostScript (PS) is planned. Also none (count'em) of hp2ps' options are implemented yet in hp2pretty.

In hp2pretty-0.5 using attoparsec and floatshow internally should give a healthy speedup.

In hp2pretty-0.4 usage changed since the previous release:

hp2pretty *.hp

hp2pretty --uniform-scale=time *.hp

hp2pretty --uniform-scale=memory *.hp

hp2pretty --uniform-scale=both *.hp

Colours also changed: now they are based on a hash of the cost label, which should make colours have stable semantics across program runs.

hp2pretty
=========

hp2ps is a tool to generate PostScript graphs of Heap Profiles.
hp2pretty is a rewrite of hp2ps, implemented in Haskell, with
the aims of being maintainable, with more flexible output, and
more beautiful output.  Currently hp2pretty outputs Scalable
Vector Graphics (SVG) only, though PostScript (PS) is planned.
Also none (count'em) of hp2ps' options are implemented yet in
hp2pretty.


Benchmarks
==========

hp2pretty-0.1

(hp2pretty compiled with "ghc -O2 --make")

Essentially identical runtime!

Memory usage from 'top':
hp2pretty ~275M
hp2ps      ~50M

Tests were run on 64bit GNU/Linux with ghc-6.12.3.


hp2pretty-0.2
-------------

"in.hp"     time (seconds)       memory (bytes)
(bytes)   hp2pretty    hp2ps   hp2pretty   hp2ps
    37M      33.345   36.430         64M     25M
   1.3M       1.015    0.074        2.2M    1.0M
    47k       0.058    0.005        210k     60k

Time is real time averaged over 3 runs as measured by 'bash'.
Memory is peak usage as measured by 'valgrind --tool=massif'.

hp2pretty compiled via cabal-install with 'ghc -O --make'.

Tests were run on 64bit GNU/Linux with ghc-6.12.3.
