Project Name
PGO Related Bugs
Project Description
Firefox crashes or experiences bugs after creating PGO builds on Windows. The focus of this project is to determine what is causing these crashes or bugs and either patch/fix them or find solutions to allow for the optimizations without incurring the problems.
As of Oct 2nd:
Profiling Firefox to increase the number of functions optimized in the PGO build of Firefox.
Project Leader(s)
Project Contributor(s)
Contributors are needed for help on profiling Firefox to improve PGO on Firefox.
What contributions are needed?
- What should be profiled?
- A write up on steps to produce profile.
- Creating scripts to execute profile steps.

October 2008
Date | Comments | |
---|---|---|
Oct 10th, 2008 | Updated the contributions section for help with creating bash shell scripts. | |
Oct 10th, 2008 | Made a pgo performance chart. Google Maps was 45% faster in my pgo build after I profiled the site. | |
Oct 8th, 2008 | Still receiving 35 failed tests even when I have no windows open and am not at the computer. | |
Oct 8th, 2008 | Ted mentioned on IRC that the 35 failed tests may of happened because I was moving my mouse during the tests. Which I was. I'm going to try the tests again. | |
Oct 7th, 2008 | Using pgomgr I am able to see what profiling data has been collected. | |
Oct 4th, 2008 | A build of Firefox without PGO resulted in 35 failed Tests in Mochitest. Xpcshell passed just fine. At this time the tree is closed so I cannot get the latest bug free version. | |
Oct 2nd, 2008 | After talking with Ted and Dave Humphrey I am going to focus my project on increasing the profiling of Firefox to increase its speed. I am also enabling the modules that have PGO disable and running the xpcshell and Mochitests on them to determine if they are still broken or if they are now working. |
