January 2025 (2025-01) performance summary for madeline-underwood/arm-learning-paths. This month focused on delivering critical profiling capabilities, improving build tooling compatibility, and clarifying onboarding prerequisites to accelerate performance analysis and optimization workflows. Key accomplishments include the delivery of an Android ExecuTorch Profiling Guide to enable end-to-end profiling on Android devices, the addition of Gradle/Kotlin DSL Build Script Compatibility to allow builds with both Groovy and Kotlin DSLs (improving compatibility with newer Gradle versions), and an update to Learning Path Prerequisites to include ExecuTorch as an alternative profiling target to Arm NN. These items collectively reduce setup friction, expand supported environments, and shorten time-to-insight for model profiling. Bugs: No critical bugs fixed this month. Minor documentation text fixes were applied to improve clarity around profiling workflows and Arm NN descriptions. Impact: The changes strengthen our profiling workflow, streamline cross-DSL Gradle configurations, and improve developer onboarding. This supports faster performance tuning, better device-level visibility, and a more robust path for teams adopting ExecuTorch on Android and related ML workloads. Technologies/Skills demonstrated: Android profiling workflows (ExecuTorch, ETDump, ExecuTorch Inspector), cross-DSL Gradle configuration (Groovy and Kotlin DSLs), Gradle script compatibility, documentation authoring and iteration, ML inference profiling concepts.
