Call Tree

The Call Tree view is a representation of all function calls in all threads. Each top-level node represents a top-level function which was executed by a certain thread. Each node corresponds to a function call and contains metrics gathered during profiling.

This view lets you:

  • Quickly get down to actual application activity.

  • Look through the execution path of the process or a function.

  • Find and examine critical paths.

  • For each function call, view the percentage relative to total running time of all threads.

To open the Call Tree view

  • Click the corresponding icon ThemedIcon ModeStraightView Screen on the left panel.

The view appearance depends on the current filter settings.
