PROFILE
Richard Uhler
Worked on the google/perfetto repository to enhance Android performance tracing and memory profiling by building new metrics and improving data fidelity. Developed granular per-process garbage collection statistics, introducing new SQL tables and Protocol Buffers to enable detailed app-level analysis. Improved the accuracy of garbage collection scheduling and startup duration metrics by refining SQL queries and test coverage, while also addressing event labeling and documentation clarity. Leveraged Python, SQL, and protobuf to integrate new features into the build system and metric pipelines, ensuring robust data modeling and system monitoring. The work emphasized trace analysis, debugging, and performance analysis for downstream users.

Feb 1, 2025February 2025: Delivered granular per-process Android GC statistics in Perfetto for google/perfetto, enabling app-level GC insights and finer performance analysis. Introduced a new per-process stats table, process-level aggregation, and a ProcessStats proto, with SQL metrics updated to surface per-process GC data across apps. The work was implemented through two commits that break down GC stats by process and add per-process info to the android_garbage_collection_stats metric.
