prestandaprofiler
A prestandaprofiler, often translated as a performance profiler, is a software tool used to analyze the execution of a program. Its primary function is to identify performance bottlenecks, meaning sections of code that consume excessive time or resources, such as CPU cycles or memory. By measuring and observing various aspects of a program's runtime behavior, profilers help developers understand where their application is spending its time.
There are generally two main categories of profilers: sampling profilers and instrumentation profilers. Sampling profilers periodically
The output of a prestandaprofiler typically includes metrics like the number of times a function is called,
