Rotate Right Zoom - Call Tree Visualization

Call Tree Visualization

Symbol information is used to map program addresses to symbol names. Breaking down a profile at symbol granularity is a useful way to understand the time spent in blocks of code. There are a variety of methods for summarizing the information in a set of samples that include backtraces of each sample's call stack:

  • Top-down (tree) visualization is used to find "hot" (frequently sampled) call paths, starting at the root symbol (e.g. main).
  • Bottom-up (leaf) visualization is used to find "hot" code, starting in the symbols where samples occurred.
  • Hotspot visualization is a complete list of symbols encountered in the profile that is used in conjunction with a side-by-side tree and leaf views (butterfly view). Selecting a symbol in the hotspot list shows the callers and callees of that symbol in the butterfly view.

Famous quotes containing the words call and/or tree:

    “O curse of marriage,
    That we can call these delicate creatures ours
    And not their appetites! I had rather be a toad,
    And live upon the vapour of a dungeon
    Than keep a corner in the thing I love
    For others’ uses.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Behold I have given you every herb bearing seed which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.”
    —Bible: Hebrew Genesis 1:29.

    But in a later context, God told the disgraced Adam, “and thou shalt eat the herb of the field” (Genesis 3:18)
