Is there a way to start a performance monitor profile when starting the execution of a TOPs network then stop and save it when it is finished? Looking through the documentation I can see I can start and name a profile via python but there doesn't seem to be a method for retrieving a profile by name or id in a later script node.

hello, I experienced the same issue and Support from SideFX was of great help,
I quote their advice, but I don't know if it can be implemented with TOPs (can you use the hou.session in Top?)
Note: "START_" and "END_" are 2 python sop nodes the wraps the network block I wanted to profile.
In the "START_perf_profile" node, you could do:
"""
"""
And in the "END_perf_profile" node, you could do:
In the future, we probably should add a new `hou.perfMon.getProfile(id)` to HOM but we'll need to do an investigation first. I vaguely recall that we chose not to add such a function but I can't recall exactly why.

And in the "END_perf_profile" node, you could do:
node = hou.pwd() id = node.evalParm("get_id") profile = hou.session.profiles[id] profile.stop()
