Hunting down allocations with Julia 1.8's Allocation Profiler
Ever written code that was too slow because of excessive allocations, but didn't know where in your code they were coming from? Julia 1.8 introduces a new Allocation Profiler for finding and understanding sources of allocations in your julia programs, providing stack traces and type info for allocation hotspots. In this talk we will introduce the allocation profiler, cover how to use it, and talk through a small success story in our own codebase.
