github.com/Haiyang-Sun/nodeprof.js @09.12.2019

An efficient instrumentation and profiling framework for Graal.js.

Getting Started

Get the mx build tool:

git clone https://github.com/graalvm/mx.git

Download and set the JAVA_HOME to the given JDK needed for building:

wget https://github.com/graalvm/openjdk8-jvmci-builder/releases/download/jvmci-0.46/openjdk-8u172-jvmci-0.46-linux-amd64.tar.gz
tar xvf openjdk-8u172-jvmci-0.46-linux-amd64.tar.gz
export JAVA_HOME=PATH_TO_THIS_JDK

Get dependent projects and build:

mkdir workspace-nodeprof
cd workspace-nodeprof
git clone https://github.com/Haiyang-Sun/nodeprof.js.git
cd nodeprof.js
mx sforceimports
mx build

Run tests:

mx test-all

Detailed explanation can be found in the Tutorial;

Goals

The goals of NodeProf are:

• Use AST-level instrumentation which can benefit from the partial evaluation of the Graal compiler and have a much lower overhead compared to source-code instrumentation framework such as Jalangi
• Compatible to analysis written in Jalangi detail.
• Comprehensive coverage for NPM modules and Node.js libraries.
• Compliant to the latest ECMAScript specification (thanks to Graal.js)
