Intel® <strong>Trace</strong> <strong>Analyzer</strong> <strong>User's</strong> <strong>Reference</strong> <strong>Guide</strong><br />

One of Valid BEFORE Point, Valid AFTER Point, Valid AT Point or Curve indicating<br />

the counters scope. Curve indicates that it is meaningful to interpolate values<br />

between two given counter values.<br />

The attribute Show Rate, indicating that it is preferable to display the derivation<br />

to time instead of the plain counter values.<br />

Nested under the top level entry for a counter, there are six entries for the<br />

minimum, average and maximum values and for the minimum, average and<br />

maximum rates that allow to switch each on and off independently. If you just<br />

use the top level entries check box then either the average value or rate will<br />

be chosen depending on the counters attributes.<br />

• Processes Tab<br />

This tab contains one top-level entry for each target group used in at least one<br />

of the counters and a nested entry for each target group's child.<br />

Using the top-level entry for a target group you can switch the entire target<br />

group on or off, or go back to the last subset that you selected using the second<br />

level entries.<br />

Using the second level entries you can switch on and off arbitrary children of<br />

the target group.<br />

The settings for a target group in this tab are applied to all counters with the<br />

respective target group.<br />

The Context Menu<br />

The context menu of the Counter Timeline provides the common entries as<br />

defined in the section called “Common Chart Features”.<br />

Filtering and Tagging<br />

The filter mechanism in the Intel <strong>Trace</strong> <strong>Analyzer</strong> does not cover counters.<br />

Therefore the Counter Timeline is independent of the View's filter settings.<br />

The Function Profile Chart<br />

The Function Profile provides detailed profiling information on the performance<br />

data. It consists of four different tabs, namely the Flat Profile tab, the Load<br />

Balance tab, the Call Tree tab and the Call Graph tab.<br />

All four of these tabs use the same column headers with the same semantics, and<br />

use the same raw data. The default column headers on display are Name, TSelf,<br />

TTotal, #Calls and TSelf/Call. For a detailed explanation of all available column<br />

headers refer to the section called “Function Profile Settings”. The order of these<br />

columns are adjusted by dragging headers of columns.<br />
