FileWriter

See https://aloiskraus.wordpress.com/2022/07/25/pdd-profiler-driven-development/ for full details.

It is a test application to show how one can integrate performance regression tests with ETW profiling and automated data extraction with ETWAnalyzer.

Compile the application with VS 2022 and execute from an administrator prompt RunPerformanceTests.cmd.

For automated ETW data analysis you need to download ETWAnalyzer from https://github.com/Siemens-Healthineers/ETWAnalyzer/releases and put the ETWAnalyzer.exe into your path.

The used MultiProfile.wprp ETW profile is an example of most ETW features. If you want to author your own recording profile it can serve as base for your own expeditions into uncharted territories of Windows.

FileWriter writes 5000 files into a folder where each file is 100 KB in size. It has 3 strategies implemented:

  • Single Threaded
  • Multi Threaded with Parallel.For
  • Multi Threaded with TPL Tasks Task.Run

Ask Your Data Questions

  • What is the fastest approach and what the most economical?
  • Is something affecting our performance?

What can we do to make things faster?

Sample Output

D:\Source\FileWriter\bin\Release\net6.0>RunPerformanceTests.cmd

Testcase CreateSerial
Wait 10s for system to settle down
Calling: FileWriter.exe -generate "C:\temp\Test1" serial
Did create 5000 files of 100 KB size (488) MB in 12,043s
Elapsed time by Return Code: 12042
Wait 10s before profiling is stopped to capture potential async operations which are still running
Stop Profiling
Press Ctrl+C to cancel the stop operation.
