  Python Profiling

  Want to know why your Python code is slow? Come learn about the latest tools in Python profiling in this CCA-hosted Sciware! In the first half, Lehman Garrison will focus on CPU profiling, using py-spy, speedscope, and other tools. We'll cover pure Python as well as mixed Python + compiled code, and teach you how to interpret profile visualizations. In the second half, Philip Mocz will cover GPU profiling, focusing on xprof/tensorboard for JAX, as well as more general GPU profilers.
