#GENERATE a FLAMEGRAPH from a GOLANG BENCHMARK
#if your benchmark is called: BenchmarkProcessThreadPool50()
#your package name (current folder) is called "AlfaGo"
#the followign command will generate 2 files: "AlfaGo.test" and "Thread50.gz"
go test -bench=ProcessThreadPool50 -cpuprofile=Thread50.gz 
#rename the binary for posterity
mv AlfaGo.test Thread50.test

#generate a flamegraph svg
go-torch -f "Thread50Flame.svg" Thread50.test Thread50.gz 

#generate a pprof svg graph
go tool pprof -svg -output "Thread50Graph.svg" hread50.test Thread50.gz
