| # Using the Skia Perf performance dashboard for Fuchsia |
| |
| Fuchsia uses [Skia |
| Perf](https://skia.googlesource.com/buildbot/+/main/perf/README.md) as |
| a dashboarding system for monitoring performance results. Skia Perf's |
| functionality includes: |
| |
| * A database for storing results from performance tests run in |
| Continuous Integration (CI/postsubmit) builds. |
| * An alerting system for detecting regressions and improvements in |
| performance metrics (anomaly/changepoint detection) and filing |
| Buganizer issues for regressions. |
| * A web interface for viewing graphs of performance metrics. |
| |
| You can view results for Fuchsia's public performance tests at |
| [fuchsia-perf.luci.app](https://fuchsia-perf.luci.app), Fuchsia's |
| public instance of Skia Perf. |
| |
| Googlers can refer to the [Google-internal docs on using Skia Perf for |
| Fuchsia](https://goto.google.com/skia-perf-for-fuchsia). |
| |
| Skia Perf is an open source project and has some [public |
| documentation](https://skia.googlesource.com/buildbot/+/main/perf/README.md) |
| in its [Git repository](https://skia.googlesource.com/buildbot/+/main/perf/). |
| |
| Googlers can also refer to the [Google-internal docs for Skia |
| Perf](https://goto.google.com/skia-perf). |
| |
| Note that the name Skia Perf comes from the fact that the system was |
| originally developed by the [Skia project](https://skia.org/) for |
| monitoring Skia performance. Skia Perf is now used by many other |
| projects besides Skia. |
| |
| ## Chromeperf migration |
| |
| Fuchsia is in the process of switching from using the |
| [Chromeperf](https://chromeperf.appspot.com/) web UI as a performance |
| dashboard to using Skia Perf's web UI. |
| |
| The resulting performance dashboard is effectively a hybrid of Skia |
| Perf and Chromeperf. Results data is still uploaded to Chromeperf's |
| database using Chromeperf's upload API, and we use Chromeperf's |
| regression detection and bug filing implementation, while Skia Perf's |
| web UI fetches results data from Chromeperf's database. |
| |
| This means that parts of Fuchsia's codebase and docs still refer to |
| Chromeperf rather than Skia Perf. |
| |
| Furthermore, Chromeperf is sometimes referred to as the "Catapult |
| performance dashboard" in the Fuchsia codebase, or just "Catapult" for |
| short, because its code lives in the [Catapult project Git |
| repo](https://chromium.googlesource.com/catapult/). |
