Abstract
Vaucanson is an extensive C++ library for the manipulation of finite state machines. Compared to its main competitorOpenFST, Vaucanson has major performance issues. In order to improve the performance of Vaucanson, a set of tools is required to analyze the library's behavior in terms of CPU time requirements and memory usage. Up to March 2009, no existing tool was fully adapted to Vaucanson and practical to use. CBS is a C++ Benchmarking Suite that measures the performance of C++ projects and provides tools to displayanalyze and compare results in a human-readable form. It is used for in-depth Vaucanson profiling, and it helps the development team rewrite algorithms.
