# %% [markdown] """ # Module 15: Profiling - Performance Detective Work Welcome to the most eye-opening module in TinyTorch! You just built MLPs, CNNs, and Transformers. But here's the million-dollar question: **Why is your transformer 100x slower than PyTorch?** Time to become a performance detective and find out what's really happening under the hood. ## MAGNIFY What You'll Discover Ever wonder why your models feel sluggish? We're about to reveal the culprits: - Which operations are eating your CPU cycles - Where your memory is disappearing - How many arithmetic operations you're really doing - The shocking performance differences between architectures **Spoiler Alert**: The results might surprise you. That "simple" attention mechanism? It's probably consuming 73% of your compute time! ## TARGET Learning Objectives By the end of this module, you'll be able to: 1. **Build Professional Profilers**: Create timing, memory, and FLOP counters 2. **Identify Bottlenecks**: Find exactly what's slowing your models down 3. **Compare Architectures**: See why transformers are slow but powerful 4. **Guide Optimizations**: Use data to make smart performance decisions The tools you build here will be essential for Module 16 (Acceleration) when you actually fix the problems you discover.
