CpuTimingMetricTask¶

CpuTimingMetricTask creates a CPU 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.

This task always returns a smaller value than lsst.verify.tasks.commonMetrics.TimingMetricTask. If it is much smaller, that may be a sign that the task is running inefficiently, since both metrics are normally run on task methods that don’t perform I/O.

Processing summary¶

CpuTimingMetricTask 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 CpuTimingMetricTask

classCpuTimingMetricTask(**kwargs): A Task that computes a CPU 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. This connection is usually configured indirectly through the labelName template as "{labelName}_metadata".

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¶

connections¶

Data type: lsst.pipe.base.config.TimeMethodMetricConfigConnections
Field type: ConfigField

Configurations describing the connections of the PipelineTask to datatypes

metadataDimensions¶

Default: ['detector', 'instrument', 'visit']
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. Deprecated: This field is deprecated and will be removed after v26.

target¶

Default: None
Field type: 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 CpuTimingMetricTask

config = CpuTimingMetricTask.ConfigClass()
config.connections.labelName = "diaPipe"
config.connections.package = "ap_association"
cofig.connections.metric = "DiaForcedSourceCpuTime"
config.target = "diaPipe:diaForcedSource.run"
task = CpuTimingMetricTask(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
