Performance Versioning System

Long term management of the performance or the resource consumption of any programming project is, indeed, a tiresome job. In consequence, many projects are needlesly slow and deplete computer’s precious resources. Yet, so far, there has been no effective solution! This talk introduces the Perun: a tool suite, which aims at helping developers track the performance history of their projects. Perun serves as a wrapper over existing repositories and offers a suite of performance collectors and analysers. The talk will provide a brief overview of Perun’s main features and introduce selected novel techniques for, e.g. automatic detection of performance changes, generating inputs leading to bad performance, or effective modeling of the program performance.
