 ## Overview
 
-To facilitate code debugging and code optimization, Taichi provides a set of profiling tools, which collect hardware and Taichi-related information to quantify program performance and analyze where the bottleneck is.
+Taichi includes a collection of profiling tools to help with code debugging and optimization. These tools collect hardware and Taichi-related information to measure program performance and identify bottlenecks.
 
 Currently, Taichi provides two profiling tools:
 
-- `ScopedProfiler` analyzes the performance of the Taichi JIT compiler (host).
-- `KernelProfiler` analyzes the performance of Taichi kernels (device). Its advanced mode, which works with the CUDA backend only, provides detailed low-level performance metrics, such as memory bandwidth consumption.

-2. To display the profiling results, call `ti.profiler.print_kernel_profiler_info()`. There are two modes of printing:
-    - In `'count'` mode (default), the profiling records under the same kernel name are counted as one profiling result.
-    - In `'trace'` mode, the profiler shows you a list of kernels launched on hardware during the profiling period.
