Christian Simon, Software Engineer at Grafana Labs, is going beyond pprof.

"pprof tells you where CPU time is spent — but not why the CPU is slow. Hardware performance counters reveal the cache misses, branch mispredictions and pipeline stalls that pprof can't see."

Sam Burns is bringing GPU computing to the Go community.

"Go handles orchestration and data generation. CUDA takes the performance-critical work of running and training a custom model on the GPU. This is what bridging the two actually looks like."
