Getting Started

Call Graph

Analyzes performance by taking samples during an activity in a program. Each sample represents a stack. The samples are taken at intervals controlled using the toolbar. In this scenario, poor performance is rated by the patterns of behavior that repeat the most during the sample time period. This figure is used to weight the Call Graph produced.

Memory Profile

Analyzes performance by hooking the memory allocations made by a program. In this scenario, poor performance is rated by the activities making the most requests for memory. This figure is used to weight the Call Graph produced.

Memory Leaks

Analyzes memory leaks by hooking the memory operations performed by a program. What is produced is a Call Graph presenting the Call Stacks that allocated memory for which a free operation was not detected.

Profiler options

Launches the configured application to be profiled. By default, this is the application configured in the active Analyzer Script.

While the Profiler is running, pauses and resumes capture.

When capture is paused, the Report button and Discard Data button are active.

Stops the Profiler process; if any samples have been collected, the Report button is enabled.

Generates a report from the current data collection.

For the call sampler, sets the interval, in milliseconds, at which samples are taken of the target process; the range of possible values is 1 - 250. (Sampler strategy only.)

Discards the collected data. You are prompted to confirm the discard.
