ANTS Profiler™
Walk-through 1: Performance profiling
This walk-through will show you:
- How to set up a new project and start profiling
- How to interact with the timeline
- How to drill down into the results to identify the bottleneck
- How to extract the most out of the source-code pane
Step 6: Interacting with the timeline
The timeline is the first port of call before starting to analyze the profiling results. The red line represents the % Processor Time throughout our Mandelbrot execution.
Simply click and drag on a region of activity which interests you, in order to obtain the performance data just for that region. In this way, you will not be swamped with information when you are only interested in a particular spike in resource usage, or a specific event.
You can create a temporary bookmark on the time line, for a selected region. This is useful if there are several periods for which you want to view or compare profiling results.
To bookmark a selected region, click the
icon at the top of the selection.
