sc_profiling#

Profiling and CPU/memory management functions.

Highlights:

sc.profile(): a line profiler
sc.cprofile(): a function profiler
sc.benchmark(): quickly check your computer’s performance
sc.loadbalancer(): very basic load balancer
sc.resourcemonitor(): a monitor to kill processes that exceed memory or other limits

Classes

`cprofile`	Function profiler, built off Python's built-in cProfile
`tracecalls`	Trace all function calls.
`resourcemonitor`	Asynchronously monitor resource (e.g. memory) usage and terminate the process if the specified threshold is exceeded.

Functions

`checkmem`	Checks how much memory the variable or variables in question use by dumping them to file.
`checkram`	Measure actual memory usage, typically at different points throughout execution.
`benchmark`	Benchmark Python performance
`cpu_count`	Alias to `multiprocessing.cpu_count()`
`cpuload`	Takes a snapshot of current CPU usage via `psutil`
`memload`	Takes a snapshot of current fraction of memory usage via `psutil`
`loadbalancer`	Delay execution while CPU load is too high -- a very simple load balancer.
`profile`	Profile the line-by-line time required by a function.
`mprofile`	Profile the line-by-line memory required by a function.

Exceptions

Custom exception for use with the sc.resourcemonitor() monitor.
