A brand new version of PAT is available that should hopefully improve things here, plus support for Pro 3.x. https://links.esri.com/propat-tool

Hi Tim, Thanks for alerting us to this issue. We are aware of a sporadic issue that affects both virtual and non-virtual environments, and are investigating an update to the PerfTools component to address this. Cheers.

About as certain as I can be given Apple's pending move to ARM chips. But this is an Intel box, so full steam ahead for now...

That's a great model. I would probably bump to 32GB of memory to give your machine extra breathability and life, and maybe consider upgrading to that 8GB GPU for the extra $100.

Hi Katie, Firstly I'd like to thank Curtis Price for his excellent and thorough suggestions. He's right on the ball. One thing I'd like to update you on from an Esri dev standpoint is our support position regarding Parallels should you choose to run your Bootcamp image thru Parallels as a virtual machine. We had to remove it after Pro v2.2 due to needing to support newer versions of DirectX (11) and Parallels was stuck at DirectX 10. However, we're happy to be resuming support for Parallels and Pro on the Mac with Parallels 15 and MacOS Mojave and newer as DirectX 11 is now supported thru Apple's Metal API. We're updating our help topics on Mac virtualization support in Pro to reflect this. Should you choose to do this, we've found that you get the best performance if you disable automatic graphics switching. This allows Pro to better utilize a GPU. As both a windows and Mac user myself, I enjoy the flexibility of being able to run native MacOS and Windows apps on the same hardware, either at boot time with Bootcamp, or side-by-side with Parallels! I hope this helps. Cheers, Ian S. ArcGIS Performance Engineering

Matt--you can export these results logs from the "Log View" pane, default is to output to "TestResults.log", but you'll see the option to name and path this somewhere else if preferable. Re. the metrics themselves--I've seen both faster and slower, both internally and externally, but feedback and collective metrics are useful here. Have you signed up for the beta programme yet?

Thomas--performance measurement is definitely a lot more subjective than simple "pass/fail" routines and we've avoided it until now for largely that reason. Add to the complexity of different peoples' datasets and configurations, which can also compound this. I'm toying around with the idea of putting some sort of sample project package (i.e. "benchmark dataset", for lack of another term) on AGOL that can be run on different deployments. Again, it would need to be comprehensive and might not target all scenarios, but it's a start. Stay tuned. -Ian.

As a follow-on to Kory Kramer's comments, I'd like to mention that the PerfTools add-in for ArcGIS Pro is available for download. It's a comprehensive and extensible framework with a powerful scripting language for testing performance of rendering, editing, spatial selection, GP tool execution, and much more. It's just one tool that we run internally at Esri to measure that the performance of Pro isn't degrading as we work towards each release. We update this add-in on a periodic basis with additional testing and scripting functionality. In the spirit of being transparent and thorough about performance testing methodologies, I encourage those of you that are interested in using this to give it a try. Cheers, Ian.

Take a look in your Documents\ArcGIS\AddIns\ArcGISPro\PerfTools folder once you’ve opened Pro. You should see a PDF there with the full documentation and code samples. Let me know if you need more specifics. Thanks.

Ryan--Denny, our developer on this, has examined what happens when /config:ConfigWithStartWizard is passed on the cmd line. It turns our PerfTools does not process this cmd, but it mistakenly thinks it needs to execute a script so PerfTools creates a project. This causes the custom configuration to skip its start page. As a workaround, you must uninstall PerfTools if you want to start ArcGIS Pro with a custom configuration. We will be releasing an upcoming version that fixes this issue. Cheers, Ian S.

I’ve installed the new PerfTools add-in for ArcGIS Pro; what are some scenarios in which this new tool can help optimize performance? Displaying and Logging Rendering Time for Specific Spatial Extents Have you created a series of spatial bookmarks in your ArcGIS Pro project? A one-line script command (ZoomToBookmarks all) can zoom through these spatial bookmarks and log draw time, frames per second (FPS) metrics, and other timestamps. No bookmarks? No problem…you can also specify extents by providing 2D or 3D camera positions in the same spatial coordinates as your data. Playing and Timing Animations Have you added an animation? Using the PlayAnimation command returns measures of total elapsed animation time, as well as average and minimum FPS. Roaming To build a thorough display cache or simulate navigation through large datasets without specifying bookmarks or camera positions, you can use the roaming capabilities of PerfTools. This allows you to virtually “walk” across the active view, starting from the upper left and moving row-by-row towards the lower right. The total draw time, in addition to average and minimum FPS, are logged for your reference. Timing Spatial Selection Moving from a file geodatabase to an enterprise geodatabase? Or have you updated your spatial index? You can examine the impacts these changes have on making spatial selections in ArcGIS Pro. The SelectFeatures command allows you to specify your selection bounding box in screen coordinates on the active 2D or 3D view. PerfTools logs a count of the features selected, as well as the selection and draw complete times. Scripting Commands Most power from the PerfTools add-in comes through a comprehensive scripting language that allows you to assemble several commands into a more comprehensive scenario. With this functionality, you can simulate typical user interactions with ArcGIS Pro, including creating and opening projects, panning, zooming, selecting, and so forth. You can add delays or “think time”, as well as looping commands (ForCount, ForFile, ForFolder, and ForTime) to repeat key parts of your workflow. Via script command, you can also control key aspects of logging content and structure in PerfTools. Custom Script Commands Not finding the script command you’re looking for? PerfTools allows you to create your own commands through leveraging the ArcGIS Pro SDK. Part of the PerfTools download includes documentation and a sample, “T1Command”, that gets you started with your own customizations. More Documentation? After installing the add-in and opening Pro, Take a look in your Documents\ArcGIS\AddIns\ArcGISPro\PerfTools folder. You should see a PDF there titled "PerfTools_for_ArcGIS_Pro.pdf". This contains comprehensive documentation and sample code snippets. Is PerfTools comprehensive? You bet! We’ll be taking a closer look at some of these techniques in upcoming blog posts. In the meantime, feel free to download the PerfTools AddIn and try it out for yourself! Ian S. – Performance Engineer
