Performance improvements for ScanCode Toolkit/ScanCode.io
ScanCode is a powerful free and open source software composition analysis (SCA) code scanner. It can be used to analyze a complete virtual machine image, or a single application package with customizable pipelines. It integrates into DevOps workflows with comprehensive APIs, and helps to generate correct SBOMs. It can be used with all programming languages and environments.
One weakness so far has been througput. ScanCode could be much faster, and this is the topic of this grant: it improves the performance for both ScanCode Toolkit and ScanCode.io. By profiling ScanCode.io performance and identifying hotspots and issues using benchmarks, and subsequently improving performance in a targeted manner this project stands to make software composition analysis more easy and more accessible.
