Perun: Light-weight Performance Version System

My contributions

I am the main author and developer of the Perun. I created the whole infrastructure and main modules. I optimized and refactored almost every module in the Perun.
I supervised (or co-supervised together with Jirka Pavela, who is currently the main supervisor of students) all the work done around Perun.
I am the main idea-maker of our Perfexionist group, and I am lucky I had talented students to polish and greatly expand on these ideas.

I am still active developer of the Perun (though my activity varies).

Overview

Perun is an open source light-weight Performance Version System, which works as a wrapper over existing Version Control Systems and in parallel manages performance profiles corresponding to different versions of projects. Moreover, it offers a tool suite suitable for automation of the performance regression test runs, postprocessing of existing profiles or effective interpretation of the results.
