Genetic Algorithms in Elixir

Identifying Bottlenecks with ExProf

Explore how to use ExProf, an Elixir profiling tool, to identify bottlenecks in your genetic algorithms. Learn to add profiling to your framework and interpret results to improve performance.

We'll cover the following...

Adding ExProf to the framework

ExProf is an Elixir profiling tool that wraps around Erlang’s :eprof. A profiler tells us about the behavior of our code and helps you determine where to optimize.

To start using ExProf, first, add it as a dependency:

C++
defp deps do 
  # ...
  {:exprof, "~> 0.2.0"}
  # ...
end
