When the Routines category is active in the Explorer panel, the Call Tree panel shows profiling results for individual routines. The Children pane of the Call Tree panel displays a tree of calls starting with the given routine. The pane contains several columns that do not depend on the active counter and there is also a set of columns that depend on the counter that was used during profiling.

Below is a description of the available columns (the Call Tree and Details panels have the same set of columns):

Columns that do not depend on the active counter

Columns (in alphabetical order)	Description
Address	Routine’s address in memory. This column is only used for unmanaged (native-code) routines.
Analysis Result	Specifies if the routine was instrumented or not. If the routine was instrumented, this column is empty. Otherwise, the column specifies why the routine was not profiled. These are the same values as the values displayed in the Analysis Result column of the Report panel. For more information, see Performance Profiler - Report Panel Columns.
Class Name	Name of the class where the parent routine is defined.
Code Type	Specifies the type of the routine’s code. The following values are possible: MSIL - Managed-code routine with MSIL (Microsoft Intermediate Language) code. x64 - 64-bit code routine. x86 - Native-code (unmanaged) routine. Pseudo - Pseudo routine that was created by the context. For example, <JIT Compiler>, <Garbage Collector>, <Unknown PInvoke> or <Root>. PInvoke - Native-code routine for which there is a declaration in one of managed modules and that is called from within the unmanaged code. NGen - Managed routine that was compiled by the ngen utility (CLR Native Image Generator) with the /prof argument in its command line. The ngen compilation means the routine was compiled before the application starts. Script - The routine belongs to a script that was profiled along with the host application. See Profiling Scripts - Overview for details. Byte-code - Java routine that was compiled into an intermediate byte-code format. See Profiling Java Applications for details.
Exceptions (#)	Number of times the parent routine was entered but not successfully exited when calling the Report panel routine. This is usually a count of exceptions that occurred when calling the Report panel routine.
Hit Count	Number of times the parent routine called the Report panel routine.
Module Name	The name of the module which contains the parent routine.
Namespace	Namespace of the method’s class (this column is used for managed routines only).
Routine Name	Name of the parent routine.
Source File	Name of the source file for the parent routine. The values for this column are read from the application’s debug info. If debug info does not contain information on the file name, the column is empty.
Source Line	Source files line number where the parent routine’s implementation begins. The values for this column are read from the application’s debug info.
Token	The routine’s token.
Unit Name	The name of the linkage unit containing the routine. This column is used for unmanaged (native-code) routines only.

Columns specific to the Elapsed Time, User Time and User+Kernel Time counters

For each of the following columns you can specify the measurement unit for the displayed values (seconds, milliseconds, microseconds or machine cycles) using the Counter unit box on the Profiler toolbar. See also Profiler Toolbar - Performance Profiler Items.

Columns (in alphabetical order)	Description
Average Time	Average time spent executing the code of the Report panel routine per call. To calculate this value AQTime only uses those calls to the Report panel routine that where made from within the given parent routine.

Notes

Though the columns in the Parents and Children panes have the same names that the Report columns have, the meaning of these values differ from the meaning of the Report panel values.
The Parents and Children tables may contain the <Root>, <JIT compiler> and <Garbage collector> routines. For more information on them, see Pseudo-Routines in Profiling Results.
You can arrange the Lines, Parents and Children tables in the Details panel as you wish. To do this, select Allow docking in Details from the context menu and then dock or undock the pages as you would dock or undock other AQTime panels. See Docking.

The columns that display percent values in the Children table (% Time, % with Children, % Misses, % Branches and others) depend on the Include routine body in Details item of the Report panel's toolbar. When this item is pressed, AQTime displays a row with the routine body results in the Children table. This changes the number of rows in the table, which, in turn, changes the percent columns’ values.

A replay is an attempt of executing a micro-operation
when conditions for the correct execution of this operation are not satisfied.
Replays may be caused by cache misses, store forwarding issues, etc.
Normally, certain number of replays always occur during the application
execution. However, a superfluous number of replays designates a
performance problem.
