I want to propose a talk with online demonstration on Performance Optimization, targeted at KDE core and app developers:

Topics include:

  • Performance Simulation with Valgrind/Calltree (how to get fast to the results you want)
  • Real Measurement with OProfile (systemwide with Hardware performance counters)
  • Usecases (When is Simulation not enough?, How to interprete hardware performance counters?)
  • Visualization and Comparison of Simulation with Real Measurement
  • Future Directions for KCachegrind (Proposal for modularization, ...)
