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
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

LimitExceeded

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