+# Profiling Cookbook
+
+The section contains examples how to perform CPU profiling for Apache Arrow DataFusion on different operating systems.
+
+## MacOS
+
+### Building a flamegraph
+
+- [cargo-flamegraph](https://github.com/flamegraph-rs/flamegraph)
+
+Test:
+
+```bash
+CARGO_PROFILE_RELEASE_DEBUG=true cargo flamegraph --root --unit-test datafusion  -- dataframe::tests::test_array_agg
+```
+
+Benchmark:
+
+```bash
+CARGO_PROFILE_RELEASE_DEBUG=true cargo flamegraph --root --bench sql_planner -- --bench
+```
+
+Open `flamegraph.svg` file with the browser
+
+- dtrace with DataFusion CLI
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/brendangregg/FlameGraph.git /tmp/fg
+cd datafusion-cli
+CARGO_PROFILE_RELEASE_DEBUG=true cargo build --release
+echo "select * from table;" >> test.sql
+sudo dtrace -c './target/debug/datafusion-cli -f test.sql' -o out.stacks -n 'profile-997 /execname == "datafusion-cli"/ { @[ustack(100)] = count(); }'
+/tmp/fg/FlameGraph/stackcollapse.pl out.stacks | /tmp/fg/FlameGraph/flamegraph.pl > flamegraph.svg
+```
+
