# Benchmarking Pipeline

We have integrated various ways into this pipeline which can be used to benchmark it.

## With dask performance report

You can generate detailed reports of dask's run using [dask diagnostics](https://docs.dask.org/en/stable/diagnostics-distributed.html#diagnostics-distributed).

When running the pipeline in distributed mode, you can pass `--with-report` option which store the dask report in `dask_report.html` file inside the specified output directory.

```bash
ska-sdp-spectral-line-imaging run --input input.ps --config config.yml --output-path output/benchmark --dask-scheduler localhost:8786 --with-report
```

**Note** that pipeline must be run with a dask scheduler for reports to be generated.

Also, since dask performance report captures detailed metrics per task (so per process), this might affect the computation times.
