Performance tuning is always an important aspect of setting up a workload and it is equally important when testing code for example filesystem feature updates. Paul Evans has been working on interfacing Performance Co-pilot with R as a way to collect live metric data which can then be looked at statistically along with visually to gain a better understanding of how workloads are performing both when running tasks and under testing.

Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) is a system performance and analysis framework which has had an uptake in popularity recently as the base of Vector, Netflix's on-host performance monitoring tool.

Paul will look at a selection of performance recorded demo runs using PCP along with R to statistically interpret the results of the data to help the audience members visualise the performance the workloads.
