Description

Right now to capture profile in TensorBoard, user is asked set an duration in prior. But a better way is to have a start and stop button that allow users to start or stop profiling at any time they want. It can also avoid holding the request open for the duration of profiling.

Research direction

Start by locating the capture profile contract and the frontend controls that currently require a duration. Trace how profiling requests are started and completed, then determine the contract changes needed for separate start and stop actions. Done means users can start or stop profiling without setting a duration and the request no longer remains open for the profiling period.
