cpu-usage-over-time.py

#!/usr/bin/env python3
# ignore-tidy-linelength

# This is a small script that we use on CI to collect CPU usage statistics of
# our builders. By seeing graphs of CPU usage over time we hope to correlate
# that with possible improvements to Rust's own build system, ideally diagnosing
# that either builders are always fully using their CPU resources or they're
# idle for long stretches of time.
#
# This script is relatively simple, but it's platform specific. Each platform
# (OSX/Windows/Linux) has a different way of calculating the current state of
# CPU at a point in time. We then compare two captured states to determine the
# percentage of time spent in one state versus another. The state capturing is
# all platform-specific but the loop at the bottom is the cross platform part
# that executes everywhere.
#
# # Viewing statistics
#
# All builders will upload their CPU statistics as CSV files to our S3 buckets.
# These URLS look like:
#
#   https://$bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/rustc-builds/$commit/cpu-$builder.csv
#
# for example
#
#   https://rust-lang-ci2.s3.amazonaws.com/rustc-builds/68baada19cd5340f05f0db15a3e16d6671609bcc/cpu-x86_64-apple.csv
#
# Each CSV file has two columns. The first is the timestamp of the measurement
# and the second column is the % of idle cpu time in that time slice. Ideally
# the second column is always zero.
#
# Once you've downloaded a file there's various ways to plot it and visualize
# it. For command line usage you use the `src/etc/cpu-usage-over-time-plot.sh`
# script in this repository.
