V8 内置了一个性能分析工具——Tick Processor,可以记录 JavaScript/C/C++ 代码的堆栈信息,该功能默认是关闭的,可以通过添加命令行参数 --prof
开启。
1.3.1 Tick Processor
创建测试代码:
app.js
const crypto = require('crypto')
function hash (password) {
const salt = crypto.randomBytes(128).toString('base64')
const hash = crypto.pbkdf2Sync(password, salt, 10000, 64, 'sha512')
return hash
}
console.time('pbkdf2Sync')
for (let i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
hash('random_password')
}
console.timeEnd('pbkdf2Sync')
运行:
$ node --prof app
pbkdf2Sync: 1375.582ms
可以看出,执行 100 次 hash 函数总共用了 1375.585ms,并且当前目录下多了一个 isolate-xxx-v8.log 文件,该文件记录了 V8 的性能日志,内容如下:
v8-version,6,1,534,50,0

...
早期我们需要借助 node-tick-processor 这样的工具解析 v8.log,但 Node.js 在 v5.2.0 之后包含了 v8.log 处理器,添加命令行参数 --prof-process
开启。
运行:
$ node --prof-process isolate-0x103000000-v8.log
结果如下:

打印结果包含六部分:Shared libraries、JavaScript、C++、Summary、C++ entry points 和 Bottom up (heavy) profile。[JavaScript] 部分列出了 JavaScript 代码执行所占用的 CPU ticks(CPU 时钟周期),[C++] 部分列出了 C++ 代码执行所占用的 CPU ticks,[Summary] 列出了各个部分的占比,[Bottom up] 列出了所有 CPU 占用时间从大到小的函数及堆栈信息,小于 1% 的则不予显示。
可以看出:88.8%的 CPU 时间都花在了 crypto.js 文件的 pbkdf2Sync 函数上,该函数在 app.js 第 3 行被调用,即我们的 hash 函数。
解决方法:将同步的 pbkdf2Sync 改为异步的 pbkdf2。修改代码如下:
const crypto = require('crypto')
function hash (password, cb) {
const salt = crypto.randomBytes(128).toString('base64')
crypto.pbkdf2(password, salt, 10000, 64, 'sha512', cb)
}
let count = 0
console.time('pbkdf2')
for (let i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
hash('random_password', () => {
count++
if (count === 100) {
console.timeEnd('pbkdf2')
}
})
}
运行结果:
$ node --prof app
pbkdf2: 656.332ms
可以看出,程序运行了 656.332ms,相比较于之前的 1375.585ms,性能提升了 1 倍。我们继续看下 v8.log 的分析结果,运行:
$ node --prof-process isolate-0x102802400-v8.log
Statistical profiling result from isolate-0x103001a00-v8.log, (198 ticks, 19 unaccounted, 0 excluded).

可以看出,[Bottom up] 没有很多 ticks,而且不再有 pbkdf2 这种堆栈信息。
1.3.2 Web UI
V8 还提供了一个 Web 可视化工具来查看生成的 v8 日志。首先,将代码还原到使用 pbkdf2Sync 的版本,运行:
$ node --prof app # 生成 isolate-0x103000000-v8.log
$ node --prof-process --preprocess isolate-0x103000000-v8.log > v8.json # 格式化成 JSON 文件
$ git clone https://github.com/v8/v8.git # 克隆 v8 仓库
$ open v8/tools/profview/index.html # 打开 V8 profiling log processor
点击 “选择文件”,选择刚才生成的 v8.json 文件,点击 “Bottom up” 视图,如下所示:
有以下两点需要解释:
- 图中的上半部分展示了 CPU 的 timeline,X 轴代表时间的流逝,Y 轴代表当前时间点不同部分占用 CPU 的比例,可以在 timeline 图表上单击左键不放,然后拖动,选择时间区间。
- 图中的下半部分展示了当前时间段内 CPU 占用比从大到小降序排列的函数,展开可查看堆栈信息。不同的颜色代表了不同的部分,点击任意一个函数,timeline 底部会展示该函数的执行时间分布。
