class profile(object):
    """Profiler context manager.

    Args:
        activities (iterable): list of activity groups (CPU, CUDA) to use in profiling, supported values:
            ``torch.profiler.ProfilerActivity.CPU``, ``torch.profiler.ProfilerActivity.CUDA``.
            Default value: ProfilerActivity.CPU and (when available) ProfilerActivity.CUDA.
        schedule (callable): callable that takes step (int) as a single parameter and returns
            ``ProfilerAction`` value that specifies the profiler action to perform at each step.
        on_trace_ready (callable): callable that is called at each step when ``schedule``
            returns ``ProfilerAction.RECORD_AND_SAVE`` during the profiling.
        record_shapes (bool): save information about operator's input shapes.
        profile_memory (bool): track tensor memory allocation/deallocation.
        with_stack (bool): record source information (file and line number) for the ops.
        with_flops (bool): use formula to estimate the FLOPs (floating point operations) of specific operators
            (matrix multiplication and 2D convolution).
        with_modules (bool): record module hierarchy (including function names)
            corresponding to the callstack of the op. e.g. If module A's forward call's
            module B's forward which contains an aten::add op,
            then aten::add's module hierarchy is A.B
            Note that this support exist, at the moment, only for TorchScript models
            and not eager mode models.
        use_cuda (bool):
            .. deprecated:: 1.8.1
                use ``activities`` instead.

    .. note::
        Use :func:`~torch.profiler.schedule` to generate the callable schedule.
        Non-default schedules are useful when profiling long training jobs
        and allow the user to obtain multiple traces at the different iterations
        of the training process.
        The default schedule simply records all the events continuously for the
        duration of the context manager.

    .. note::
        Use :func:`~torch.profiler.tensorboard_trace_handler` to generate result files for TensorBoard:

        ``on_trace_ready=torch.profiler.tensorboard_trace_handler(dir_name)``

        After profiling, result files can be found in the specified directory. Use the command:

        ``tensorboard --logdir dir_name``

        to see the results in TensorBoard.
        For more information, see
        `PyTorch Profiler TensorBoard Plugin <https://github.com/pytorch/kineto/tree/master/tb_plugin>`__

    .. note::
        Enabling shape and stack tracing results in additional overhead.
        When record_shapes=True is specified, profiler will temporarily hold references to the tensors;
        that may further prevent certain optimizations that depend on the reference count and introduce
        extra tensor copies.

    Examples:

    .. code-block:: python

        with torch.profiler.profile(
            activities=[
                torch.profiler.ProfilerActivity.CPU,

        print(p.key_averages().table(
            sort_by="self_cuda_time_total", row_limit=-1))

    Using the profiler's ``schedule``, ``on_trace_ready`` and ``step`` functions:

    .. code-block:: python

        # Non-default profiler schedule allows user to turn profiler on and off
        # on different iterations of the training loop;
