3 Futures Tracing
| (require future-visualizer/trace) | |
| package: future-visualizer-pict | |
The futures trace module exposes low-level information about the execution of parallel programs written using future.
syntax
(trace-futures e ...)
procedure
(trace-futures-thunk thunk) → (listof indexed-future-event?)
thunk : (-> any)
The trace-futures macro and trace-futures-thunk function
track the execution of a program using futures and return the program
trace as a list of indexed-future-event structures.
This program:
(require racket/future future-visualizer/trace) (trace-futures (let ([f (future (lambda () ...))]) ... (touch f)))
Is equivalent to:
(require racket/future future-visualizer/trace) (start-future-tracing!) (let ([f (future (lambda () ...))]) ... (touch f)) (stop-future-tracing!) (timeline-events)

(timeline-events) → (listof indexed-future-event?)
The start-future-tracing! procedure enables the collection
of future-related execution data. This function should be called immediately
prior to executing code the programmer wishes to profile.
The stop-future-tracing! procedure must be used to indicate the end of code the programmer wishes to trace. Tracing works by simply using a log receiver to record all future-related log events; this procedure logs a special message that is well-known to the log receiver to mean ’stop recording’.
The timeline-events procedure returns the program trace as a list of indexed-future-event structures.
struct
(struct indexed-future-event (index event) #:extra-constructor-name make-indexed-future-event) index : exact-nonnegative-integer? event : any
Represents an individual log message in a program trace. In addition to
future events, the tracing code also records garbage collection events; hence
the event field may contain either a future-event or gc-info
prefab struct (see Garbage Collection),
where the latter describes a GC operation. Because multiple
future-event structures may contain identical timestamps, the
index field ranks them in the order in which they were recorded
in the log output.
struct
(struct future-event ( future-id proc-id action time-id prim-name user-data) #:extra-constructor-name make-future-event #:prefab) future-id : (or exact-nonnegative-integer? #f) proc-id : exact-nonnegative-integer? action : symbol? time-id : real? prim-name : (or symbol? #f) user-data : (or #f symbol? exact-nonnegative-integer?)
Represents a future event as logged by the run-time system. See
Future Performance Logging for more information.
