| # Profiling | |||
|
|
|||
| Profiling is essential for assessing how different parts of a program execute and gathering crucial performance data. It plays a vital role in debugging, pinpointing bottlenecks, optimizing code, and scaling application performance. This analysis identifies common issues such as out-of-bound memory, segmentation faults, bus errors, and runtime overhead, enabling effective troubleshooting and improvement strategies. | |||
