Once the most time-consuming code sections have been identified, additional code optimization can be considered. From the standpoint of computation time, it makes sense to only optimize those code fragments that take a significant time to run. Julia offers a simple, yet useful, built-in sampling profiler.

 

 

Getting ready

The sampling profiler is built into Julia. However, in order to visualize profiling results, theProfileView.jlpackage is recommended, whichcan be installed with the Julia package manager. In the Julia command line, press the] key and run the following command:
