Profiling for Improving Performance

One way to improve the performance of your M-files is using profiling tools. MATLAB provides the M-file Profiler, a graphical user interface that is based on the results returned by the profile function. Use the Profiler to help you determine where you can modify your code to make performance improvements. This section covers the following topics:

• What Is Profiling?--Profiling assesses where time is being spent in your M-code.
• Profiling Process Guidelines--Provides guidelines on using profiling to optimize performance.
• The Profiler--A graphical user interface for viewing where the time is being spent in your M-code.
• Profile Summary Report--Describes the summary report produced by the Profiler.
• Profile Detail Report--Describes the detail reports produced by the Profiler.
• The profile Function--The function on which the Profiler is based, profile.
