armi.utils.codeTiming module

Utilities related to profiling code.

armi.utils.codeTiming.timed(*args)

Decorate functions to time how long they take.

Examples

@timed # your timer will be called the module+method name def mymethod(stuff):

do stuff

@timed(‘call my timer this instead’) def mymethod2(stuff)

do even more stuff

armi.utils.codeTiming.getMasterTimer()

Duplicate function to the MasterTimer.getMasterTimer method

Provided for convenience and developer preference of which to use

class armi.utils.codeTiming.MasterTimer

Bases: object

_instance = <armi.utils.codeTiming.MasterTimer object>

static getMasterTimer()

static getTimer(event_name)

Return a timer with no special action take

with timer: ... friendly!

static startTimer(event_name)

Return a timer with a start call, or a newly made started timer

with timer: ... unfriendly!

static endTimer(event_name)

Return a timer with a stop call, or a newly made unstarted timer

with timer: ... unfriendly!

static time()

System time offset by when this master timer was initialized

static startAll()

Starts all timers, won’t work after a stopAll command

static stopAll()

Kills the timer run, can’t easily be restarted

static getActiveTimers()

static report(inclusion_cutoff=0.1, total_time=False)

Write a string report of the timers

Parameters

• inclusion_cutoff (float, optional) – Will not show results that have less than this fraction of the total time.

• total_time (bool, optional) – Use either the ratio of total time or time since last report for consideration against the cutoff

See also

armi.utils.codeTiming._Timer.__str__()

prints out the results for each individual line item

static timeline(base_file_name, inclusion_cutoff=0.1, total_time=False)

Produces a timeline graphic of the timers

Parameters

• base_file_name (str) – whatever the leading file path should be this method generates the same file extension for every image to add to the base

• inclusion_cutoff (float, optional) – Will not show results that have less than this fraction of the total time.

• total_time (bool, optional) – Use either the ratio of total time or time since last report for consideration against the cutoff

class armi.utils.codeTiming._Timer(name, start)

Bases: object

Code timer to call at various points to measure performance

see MasterTimer.getTimer() for construction

_frozen = False

property isActive

property pauses

property time

Total time value

property timeSinceReport

The elapsed time since this timer was asked to report itself

property times

List of time start and stop pairs, if active the current time is used as the last stop

_open_time_pair(cur_time)

_close_time_pair(cur_time)

start()

stop()
