EasyView: an integrated pprof visualizer in vscode
Xu Liu
We are researchers at NC State University. We have developed a vscode extension named EasyView, which visualizes PProf output in vscode. Compared to the default web-based visualizer of PProf, EasyView enjoys the following three advantages.
EasyView, as a vscode extension, is tightly integrated in vscode. One can easily map the profiles to source code.
EasyView provides various flamegraphs to visualize the profiles, including the traditional top-down flamegraphs, and also new bottom-up and flat flamegraphs.
EasyView is very efficient in handling large profiles. Compared to the default PProf visualizer, it is 50X faster.
The details of EasyView (including a 5-min introduction demo) can be found at https://github.com/xperflab/easyview. We hope you can try EasyView out and fill the survey form at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf_5h6DeMtAJPazxjZzZR88yydvtaXbQ8s2E-iR7nIiSPekQg/viewform.
