Metrics may be either exclusive or inclusive. Exclusive metrics represent usage within the function, while inclusive metrics represent usage within the function and all functions it called. You can analyze the collected data and obtain information in several critical areas. Initially, a default set of metrics based on the collected data is shown. To aid analysis, the Collecting Analyzer provides several ways for developers to view collected performance data, including data display at the function or load object level.
Programmers can control which metrics are shown, as well as the order in which they appear.
The various views include the Function List, Caller-Callees screen, Annotated Source, and the Annotated Disassembly. All generated reports match the Sampling Analyzer print command option in content. Specific techniques for optimizing applications using the Sampling Collector and Sampling Analyzer are discussed. Additional information on the Sampling Collector and Sampling Analyzer can also be found in the Analyzing Program Performance with Sun WorkShop guide. All rights reserved.
