TimingMetricTask

TimingMetricTask creates a wall-clock timing Measurement based on data collected by @timeMethod. It reads the raw timing data from the top-level PipelineTask’s metadata, which is identified by the task configuration.

Processing summary

TimingMetricTask searches the metadata for @timeMethod-generated keys corresponding to the method of interest. If it finds matching keys, it stores the elapsed time as a Measurement.

Python API summary

from lsst.verify.tasks.commonMetrics import TimingMetricTask
classTimingMetricTask(**kwargs)

A Task that computes a wall-clock time using metadata produced by the `lsst.utils.timer.timeMethod` decorator...

attributeconfig

Access configuration fields and retargetable subtasks.

methodrun(metadata)

Compute a measurement from science task metadata...

Butler datasets

Input datasets

metadata

The metadata of the top-level pipeline task (e.g., CharacterizeImageTask, DiaPipeTask) being instrumented.

Output datasets

measurement

The value of the metric. The dataset type should not be configured directly, but should be set changing the package and metric template variables to the metric’s namespace (package, by convention) and in-package name, respectively. Subclasses that only support one metric should set these variables automatically.

Retargetable subtasks

No subtasks.

Configuration fields

Field type

str ListField

Override for the dimensions of the ‘metadata’ input, when instrumenting Tasks that don’t produce one metadata object per visit.

saveLogOutput

Default
True
Field type

bool Field

Flag to enable/disable saving of log output for a task, enabled by default.

saveMetadata

Default
True
Field type

bool Field

Flag to enable/disable metadata saving for a task, enabled by default.

str Field

The method to profile, optionally prefixed by one or more tasks in the format of lsst.pipe.base.Task.getFullMetadata().

Examples

from lsst.verify.tasks import TimingMetricTask

config = TimingMetricTask.ConfigClass()
config.connections.metadata = "apPipe_metadata"
config.connections.package = "pipe_tasks"
cofig.connections.metric = "ProcessCcdTime"
config.target = "apPipe:ccdProcessor.runDataRef"
task = TimingMetricTask(config=config)

# config.connections provided for benefit of Pipeline
# but since we've defined it we might as well use it
metadata = butler.get(config.connections.metadata)
processCcdTime = task.run(metadata).measurement
