Hello everyone, |
| 2 |
|

I am working on Gentoo Identity, an LDAP web UI that aims to be a |
| 4 |
general-usage application that will allow users - developers - |
| 5 |
recruiters - administrators to configure their attributes easily from |
| 6 |
Gentoo's LDAP server. |

This week, due to the mid-term evaluation, I started taking some metrics |
| 9 |
and do some profiling to Identity. Graphs and metrics are always useful to |
| 10 |
compare performance before and after optimization phase. Currently, we |
| 11 |
focus on making it work first, then we will focus on making it fast. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Here are some first performance metrics and details of the user's profile |
| 14 |
page and developers list[1][2]. Because there are so many unsorted things |
| 15 |
there, in order to not get confused, it would be better to check only |
| 16 |
ncalls(function calls - first column), cumtime(cumulative time - fourth |
| 17 |
column) and percall(fifth column). In addition, I visualized Identity's |
| 18 |
models.[3]. To take these metrics I used django-extensions app, graphviz |
| 19 |
and django-debug-toolbar. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
My plans for the next week are to finish my work with user settings and do |
| 22 |
an in-depth research about caching. Then, I'll start to develop a caching |
| 23 |
plan. |
