Nightly Build

⚠️ This is an automated nightly build and is NOT a stable release.

Built from commit 05d7877c5a6c5710239d4395c22b084b094bd2cd.

v1.2.1

What's Changed

• APerf images are now available on public ECR repository: https://gallery.ecr.aws/aperf/aperf
• Metrics data points with all zero values are now compressed to reduce report size
• Fixed the incorrect evaluation of some analytical rules when comparing data with zero values

Full Changelog: v1.2.0...v1.2.1

v1.2.0

What's Changed

• APerf is now built and released on Windows and MacOS with the report feature. Any APerf run data produced by aperf record can now be processed by APerf executable on Windows and MacOS to generate reports.
• Improved robustness when processing raw CPU utilization data that contains decreased accumulative CPU time values.

Full Changelog: v1.1.0...v1.2.0

v1.1.0

What's Changed

• APerf now supports analytics. Analytical rules are defined in the Rust code, which during report generation are matched against the processed data and produce analytical findings. Statistical analysis are automatically performed in the report frontend, which compares all time-series metric stats among different runs. The report now has the "Analytical findings" and "Statistical findings" sections.
• Container usage improvements:
  • Supported --profile-java in eks-aperf.sh
  • Added devcontainer Dockerfile
• UI bug fixes and improvements:
  • Enforced ordering of sections within the graph data type
  • Removed case sensitivity for keys in key-value data
  • Improved unit for bytes data
  • Matched Java profiling graphs using JVM name
  • Added helpful links and optimization guides in the help panel
  • Showed the top 16 processes with the highest CPU time in all processes metrics
  • Saved the preference of number of graphs per page to browser local storage
• Added strex-spec-pki metric in PMU data to detect usage of STREX instructions
• Added DEVELOPMENT.md to include code change guidelines
