− | == Slicer 3 Performance Analysis ==
| |
− | | |
− | We are looking into performance analysis on the Slicer3 codebase in order to streamline execution where possible, identify parts of the program to optimize, and determine which parts of Slicer3 are using the most system resources. We are currently in the process of determining which profilers to use on the various Slicer platforms. | |
