Artefacts X-Ray

Resource tracker for process trees rooted in a Python process.

Usage

The tracker is a context manager:

from axray import resource_tracking

with resource_tracking():
    work()

By default it tracks the process tree executed in the context, here everything that happens inside work().

Comprehensive Demo

A demo script in this repository can report on a range of situations:

• Single process CPU only usage
• Single process memory only usage
• Single process CPU and memory usage
• Multi process CPU only usage
• Multi process memory only usage
• Multi process CPU and memory only usage

With some extras like reporting the time overhead of tracking (but indicative only, not statistically confirmed).

Assuming the uv tool is available:

./bin/demo

In the absence of uv the script requires Numpy and can be run with python bin/demo.

Test Suite

The test suite uses PyTest and tries to cover relevant situations in resource tracking (over time it should go beyond what bin/demo covers).

Some tests are slow because they try to validate somewhat realistic situations (child processes not too short), as well as statistical relevance of reporting. Most tests can be run with:

uv run pytest -m "not slowest"   # Remove `uv run` if `pytest` available

This runs excluding the really slow tests. As the project progresses, other tests get marked as slow/slower/slowest to try to find good balance and configurability.
