|
||||
### CPU Profiling
|
||||
```go
|
||||
import (
|
||||
"os"
|
||||
"runtime/pprof"
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
func ProfileCPU(filename string, fn func()) error {
|
||||
f, err := os.Create(filename)
|
||||
if err != nil {
|
||||
return err
|
||||
}
|
||||
defer f.Close()
|
||||
|
||||
if err := pprof.StartCPUProfile(f); err != nil {
|
||||
return err
|
||||
}
|
||||
defer pprof.StopCPUProfile()
|
||||
|
||||
fn()
|
||||
return nil
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Usage:
|
||||
// go run main.go
|
||||
// go tool pprof cpu.prof
|
||||
// (pprof) top10
|
||||
// (pprof) list functionName
|
||||
// (pprof) web
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Memory Profiling
|
||||
```go
|
||||
import (
|
||||
"os"
|
||||
"runtime"
|
||||
"runtime/pprof"
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
func ProfileMemory(filename string) error {
|
||||
f, err := os.Create(filename)
|
||||
if err != nil {
|
||||
return err
|
||||
}
|
||||
defer f.Close()
|
||||
|
||||
runtime.GC() // Force GC before taking snapshot
|
||||
if err := pprof.WriteHeapProfile(f); err != nil {
|
||||
return err
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
return nil
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Analysis:
|
||||
// go tool pprof -alloc_space mem.prof # Total allocations
|
||||
// go tool pprof -alloc_objects mem.prof # Number of objects
|
||||
// go tool pprof -inuse_space mem.prof # Current memory usage
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### HTTP Profiling Endpoints
|
||||
```go
|
||||
import (
|
||||
_ "net/http/pprof"
|
||||
"net/http"
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
func main() {
|
||||
// Enable pprof endpoints
|
||||
go func() {
|
||||
log.Println(http.ListenAndServe("localhost:6060", nil))
|
||||
}()
|
||||
|
||||
// Your application code...
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Access profiles:
|
||||
// http://localhost:6060/debug/pprof/
|
||||
// http://localhost:6060/debug/pprof/heap
|
||||
// http://localhost:6060/debug/pprof/goroutine
|
||||
// http://localhost:6060/debug/pprof/profile?seconds=30
|
||||
// http://localhost:6060/debug/pprof/trace?seconds=5
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Execution Tracing
|
||||
```go
|
||||
import (
|
||||
"os"
|
||||
"runtime/trace"
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
func TraceExecution(filename string, fn func()) error {
|
||||
f, err := os.Create(filename)
|
||||
if err != nil {
|
||||
return err
|
||||
}
|
||||
defer f.Close()
|
||||
|
||||
if err := trace.Start(f); err != nil {
|
||||
return err
|
||||
}
|
||||
defer trace.Stop()
|
||||
|
||||
fn()
|
||||
return nil
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// View trace:
|
||||
// go tool trace trace.out
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Benchmarking Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
### Writing Benchmarks
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// Basic benchmark
|
||||
func BenchmarkStringConcat(b *testing.B) {
|
||||
for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
|
||||
_ = "hello" + " " + "world"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Benchmark with setup
|
||||
func BenchmarkDatabaseQuery(b *testing.B) {
|
||||
db := setupTestDB(b)
|
||||
defer db.Close()
|
||||
|
||||
b.ResetTimer() // Reset timer after setup
|
||||
|
||||
for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
|
||||
_, err := db.Query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?", i)
|
||||
if err != nil {
|
||||
b.Fatal(err)
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Benchmark with sub-benchmarks
|
||||
func BenchmarkEncode(b *testing.B) {
|
||||
data := generateTestData()
|
||||
|
||||
b.Run("JSON", func(b *testing.B) {
|
||||
for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
|
||||
json.Marshal(data)
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
b.Run("MessagePack", func(b *testing.B) {
|
||||
for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
|
||||
msgpack.Marshal(data)
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
b.Run("Protobuf", func(b *testing.B) {
|
||||
for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
|
||||
proto.Marshal(data)
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Parallel benchmarks
|
||||
func BenchmarkParallel(b *testing.B) {
|
||||
b.RunParallel(func(pb *testing.PB) {
|
||||
for pb.Next() {
|
||||
// Work to benchmark
|
||||
expensiveOperation()
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Memory allocation benchmarks
|
||||
func BenchmarkAllocations(b *testing.B) {
|
||||
b.ReportAllocs() // Report allocation stats
|
||||
|
||||
for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
|
||||
data := make([]byte, 1024)
|
||||
_ = data
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Running Benchmarks
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Run all benchmarks
|
||||
go test -bench=. -benchmem
|
||||
|
||||
# Run specific benchmark
|
||||
go test -bench=BenchmarkStringConcat -benchmem
|
||||
|
||||
# Run with custom time
|
||||
go test -bench=. -benchtime=10s
|
||||
|
||||
# Compare benchmarks
|
||||
go test -bench=. -benchmem > old.txt
|
||||
# Make changes
|
||||
go test -bench=. -benchmem > new.txt
|
||||
benchstat old.txt new.txt
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Memory Optimization Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Escape Analysis
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// Check what escapes to heap
|
||||
// go build -gcflags="-m" main.go
|
||||
|
||||
// GOOD: Stack allocation
|
||||
func stackAlloc() int {
|
||||
x := 42
|
||||
return x
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// BAD: Heap allocation (escapes)
|
||||
func heapAlloc() *int {
|
||||
x := 42
|
||||
return &x // x escapes to heap
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// GOOD: Reuse without allocation
|
||||
func noAlloc() {
|
||||
var buf [1024]byte // Stack allocated
|
||||
processData(buf[:])
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// BAD: Allocates on every call
|
||||
func allocEveryTime() {
|
||||
buf := make([]byte, 1024) // Heap allocated
|
||||
processData(buf)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Sync.Pool for Object Reuse
|
||||
```go
|
||||
var bufferPool = sync.Pool{
|
||||
New: func() interface{} {
|
||||
return new(bytes.Buffer)
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
func processRequest(data []byte) {
|
||||
// Get buffer from pool
|
||||
buf := bufferPool.Get().(*bytes.Buffer)
|
||||
buf.Reset() // Clear previous data
|
||||
defer bufferPool.Put(buf) // Return to pool
|
||||
|
||||
buf.Write(data)
|
||||
// Process buffer...
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// String builder pool
|
||||
var stringBuilderPool = sync.Pool{
|
||||
New: func() interface{} {
|
||||
return &strings.Builder{}
|
||||
},
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
func concatenateStrings(strs []string) string {
|
||||
sb := stringBuilderPool.Get().(*strings.Builder)
|
||||
sb.Reset()
|
||||
defer stringBuilderPool.Put(sb)
|
||||
|
||||
for _, s := range strs {
|
||||
sb.WriteString(s)
|
||||
}
|
||||
return sb.String()
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Pre-allocation and Capacity
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// BAD: Growing slice repeatedly
|
||||
func badAppend() []int {
|
||||
var result []int
|
||||
for i := 0; i < 10000; i++ {
|
||||
result = append(result, i) // Multiple allocations
|
||||
}
|
||||
return result
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// GOOD: Pre-allocate with known size
|
||||
func goodAppend() []int {
|
||||
result := make([]int, 0, 10000) // Single allocation
|
||||
for i := 0; i < 10000; i++ {
|
||||
result = append(result, i)
|
||||
}
|
||||
return result
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// GOOD: Use known length
|
||||
func preallocate(n int) []int {
|
||||
result := make([]int, n) // Allocate exact size
|
||||
for i := 0; i < n; i++ {
|
||||
result[i] = i
|
||||
}
|
||||
return result
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// String concatenation
|
||||
// BAD
|
||||
func badConcat(strs []string) string {
|
||||
result := ""
|
||||
for _, s := range strs {
|
||||
result += s // Allocates new string each iteration
|
||||
}
|
||||
return result
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// GOOD
|
||||
func goodConcat(strs []string) string {
|
||||
var sb strings.Builder
|
||||
sb.Grow(estimateSize(strs)) // Pre-grow if size known
|
||||
for _, s := range strs {
|
||||
sb.WriteString(s)
|
||||
}
|
||||
return sb.String()
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Zero-Copy Techniques
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// Use byte slices to avoid string allocations
|
||||
func parseHeader(header []byte) (key, value []byte) {
|
||||
// Split without allocating strings
|
||||
i := bytes.IndexByte(header, ':')
|
||||
if i < 0 {
|
||||
return nil, nil
|
||||
}
|
||||
return header[:i], header[i+1:]
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Reuse buffers
|
||||
type Parser struct {
|
||||
buf []byte
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
func (p *Parser) Parse(data []byte) {
|
||||
// Reuse internal buffer
|
||||
p.buf = p.buf[:0] // Reset length, keep capacity
|
||||
p.buf = append(p.buf, data...)
|
||||
// Process p.buf...
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Use io.Writer interface to avoid intermediate buffers
|
||||
func writeResponse(w io.Writer, data Data) error {
|
||||
// Write directly to response writer
|
||||
enc := json.NewEncoder(w)
|
||||
return enc.Encode(data)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Concurrency Optimization
|
||||
|
||||
### Reducing Lock Contention
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// BAD: Single lock for all operations
|
||||
type BadCache struct {
|
||||
mu sync.Mutex
|
||||
items map[string]interface{}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
func (c *BadCache) Get(key string) interface{} {
|
||||
c.mu.Lock()
|
||||
defer c.mu.Unlock()
|
||||
return c.items[key]
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// GOOD: Read-write lock
|
||||
type GoodCache struct {
|
||||
mu sync.RWMutex
|
||||
items map[string]interface{}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
func (c *GoodCache) Get(key string) interface{} {
|
||||
c.mu.RLock() // Multiple readers allowed
|
||||
defer c.mu.RUnlock()
|
||||
return c.items[key]
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// BETTER: Sharded locks for high concurrency
|
||||
type ShardedCache struct {
|
||||
shards [256]*shard
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
type shard struct {
|
||||
mu sync.RWMutex
|
||||
items map[string]interface{}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
func (c *ShardedCache) getShard(key string) *shard {
|
||||
h := fnv.New32()
|
||||
h.Write([]byte(key))
|
||||
return c.shards[h.Sum32()%256]
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
func (c *ShardedCache) Get(key string) interface{} {
|
||||
shard := c.getShard(key)
|
||||
shard.mu.RLock()
|
||||
defer shard.mu.RUnlock()
|
||||
return shard.items[key]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Goroutine Pool
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// Limit concurrent goroutines
|
||||
type WorkerPool struct {
|
||||
sem chan struct{}
|
||||
wg sync.WaitGroup
|
||||
tasks chan func()
|
||||
maxWorkers int
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
func NewWorkerPool(maxWorkers int) *WorkerPool {
|
||||
return &WorkerPool{
|
||||
sem: make(chan struct{}, maxWorkers),
|
||||
tasks: make(chan func(), 100),
|
||||
maxWorkers: maxWorkers,
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
func (p *WorkerPool) Start(ctx context.Context) {
|
||||
for i := 0; i < p.maxWorkers; i++ {
|
||||
p.wg.Add(1)
|
||||
go func() {
|
||||
defer p.wg.Done()
|
||||
for {
|
||||
select {
|
||||
case task := <-p.tasks:
|
||||
task()
|
||||
case <-ctx.Done():
|
||||
return
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}()
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
func (p *WorkerPool) Submit(task func()) {
|
||||
p.tasks <- task
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
func (p *WorkerPool) Wait() {
|
||||
close(p.tasks)
|
||||
p.wg.Wait()
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Efficient Channel Usage
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// Use buffered channels to reduce blocking
|
||||
ch := make(chan int, 100) // Buffer of 100
|
||||
|
||||
// Batch channel operations
|
||||
func batchProcess(items []Item) {
|
||||
const batchSize = 100
|
||||
results := make(chan Result, batchSize)
|
||||
|
||||
go func() {
|
||||
for _, item := range items {
|
||||
results <- process(item)
|
||||
}
|
||||
close(results)
|
||||
}()
|
||||
|
||||
for result := range results {
|
||||
handleResult(result)
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Use select with default for non-blocking operations
|
||||
select {
|
||||
case ch <- value:
|
||||
// Sent successfully
|
||||
default:
|
||||
// Channel full, handle accordingly
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Runtime Tuning
|
||||
|
||||
### Garbage Collection Tuning
|
||||
```go
|
||||
import "runtime/debug"
|
||||
|
||||
// Adjust GC target percentage
|
||||
debug.SetGCPercent(100) // Default is 100
|
||||
// Higher value = less frequent GC, more memory
|
||||
// Lower value = more frequent GC, less memory
|
||||
|
||||
// Force GC when appropriate (careful!)
|
||||
runtime.GC()
|
||||
|
||||
// Monitor GC stats
|
||||
var stats runtime.MemStats
|
||||
runtime.ReadMemStats(&stats)
|
||||
fmt.Printf("Alloc = %v MB", stats.Alloc / 1024 / 1024)
|
||||
fmt.Printf("TotalAlloc = %v MB", stats.TotalAlloc / 1024 / 1024)
|
||||
fmt.Printf("Sys = %v MB", stats.Sys / 1024 / 1024)
|
||||
fmt.Printf("NumGC = %v", stats.NumGC)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### GOMAXPROCS Tuning
|
||||
```go
|
||||
import "runtime"
|
||||
|
||||
// Set number of OS threads
|
||||
numCPU := runtime.NumCPU()
|
||||
runtime.GOMAXPROCS(numCPU) // Usually automatic
|
||||
|
||||
// For CPU-bound workloads, consider:
|
||||
runtime.GOMAXPROCS(numCPU)
|
||||
|
||||
// For I/O-bound workloads, consider:
|
||||
runtime.GOMAXPROCS(numCPU * 2)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Performance Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Lazy Initialization
|
||||
```go
|
||||
type Service struct {
|
||||
clientOnce sync.Once
|
||||
client *Client
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
func (s *Service) getClient() *Client {
|
||||
s.clientOnce.Do(func() {
|
||||
s.client = NewClient()
|
||||
})
|
||||
return s.client
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Fast Path Optimization
|
||||
```go
|
||||
func processData(data []byte) Result {
|
||||
// Fast path: check for common case first
|
||||
if isSimpleCase(data) {
|
||||
return handleSimpleCase(data)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Slow path: handle complex case
|
||||
return handleComplexCase(data)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Inline Critical Functions
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// Use //go:inline directive for hot path functions

## Profiling Analysis Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Identify the Problem**
|
||||
- Measure baseline performance
|
||||
- Identify slow operations
|
||||
- Set performance goals
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Profile the Application**
|
||||
- Use CPU profiling for compute-bound issues
|
||||
- Use memory profiling for allocation issues
|
||||
- Use trace for concurrency issues
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Analyze Results**
|
||||
- Find hot spots (functions using most time/memory)
|
||||
- Look for unexpected allocations
|
||||
- Identify contention points
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Optimize**
|
||||
- Focus on biggest bottlenecks first
|
||||
- Apply appropriate optimization techniques
|
||||
- Measure improvements
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Verify**
|
||||
- Run benchmarks before and after
|
||||
- Use benchstat for statistical comparison
|
||||
- Ensure correctness wasn't compromised
|
||||
|
||||
6. **Iterate**
|
||||
- Continue profiling
|
||||
- Find next bottleneck
|
||||
- Repeat process
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Anti-Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Premature Optimization
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// DON'T optimize without measuring
|
||||
// DON'T sacrifice readability for micro-optimizations
|
||||
// DO profile first, optimize hot paths only
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Over-Optimization
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// DON'T make code unreadable for minor gains
|
||||
// DON'T optimize rarely-executed code
|
||||
// DO balance performance with maintainability
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Ignoring Allocation
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// DON'T ignore allocation profiles
|
||||
// DON'T create unnecessary garbage
|
||||
// DO reuse objects when beneficial
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

## Performance Optimization Checklist
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Measure First**: Profile before optimizing
|
||||
2. **Focus on Hot Paths**: Optimize the critical 20%
|
||||
3. **Reduce Allocations**: Minimize garbage collector pressure
|
||||
4. **Avoid Locks**: Use lock-free algorithms when possible
|
||||
5. **Use Appropriate Data Structures**: Choose based on access patterns
|
||||
6. **Pre-allocate**: Reserve capacity when size is known
|
||||
7. **Batch Operations**: Reduce overhead of small operations
|
||||
8. **Use Buffering**: Reduce system call overhead
|
||||
9. **Cache Computed Values**: Avoid redundant work
|
||||
10. **Profile Again**: Verify improvements
|
||||
|
||||
Remember: Profile-guided optimization is key. Always measure before and after optimizations to ensure improvements and avoid regressions.
