How To Install coz-profiler on Kali Linux

In this tutorial we learn how to install coz-profiler on Kali Linux. coz-profiler is Finding Code that Counts with Causal Profiling

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install coz-profiler on Kali Linux.

What is `coz-profiler`

coz-profiler is:

Coz is a code profiler that find optimization opportunities
missed by traditional profilers. Coz employs a technique called
causal profiling that measures optimization potential. This measurement
matches developers’ assumptions about profilers: that optimizing
highly-ranked code will have the greatest impact on performance. Causal
profiling measures optimization potential for serial, parallel, and
asynchronous programs without instrumentation of special handling for
library calls and concurrency primitives. Instead, a causal profiler
uses performance experiments to predict the effect of
optimizations. This allows the profiler to establish causality:
“optimizing function X will have effect Y,” exactly the measurement
developers had assumed they were getting all along.
