When the Routines category is active in the Explorer panel, the Call Tree panel shows profiling results for individual routines.The Parents pane displays a tree of calls that led to a call to 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 the description of available columns (both Call Tree and Details have the same set of columns):
Columns that do not depend on the active counter
![](/aqtime/docs/_assets/commonImages/plus-btn.gif)
![](/aqtime/docs/_assets/commonImages/minus-btn.gif)
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:
|
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

![](/aqtime/docs/_assets/commonImages/minus-btn.gif)
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. |
Average Time with Children | Average time spent executing the Report panel routine per call (including calls to its child routines). To calculate this value AQTime only uses those calls to the Report panel routine that were made from within the given parent routine. |
Max Time and Min Time |
Maximum and minimum time (excluding child function calls) spent executing the Report panel routine when it was called from the parent routine. Exceptional values point out perhaps unexpected special conditions. |
Max Time with Children and Min Time with Children |
Maximum and minimum time (including child function calls) spent executing the Report panel routine when it was called from the parent routine. Exceptional values point out perhaps unexpected special conditions. |
Shared Time | Total time spent executing the code of the Report panel routine, as a percentage of the total time spent on calls to the Report panel routine including calls to child routines. In other words, Shared Time is the ratio of the routine’s Time to Time with Children values displayed in the Parents grid: (Time / Time with Children)*100. |
Time | Total time spent executing the Report panel routine’s code (excluding child calls) when it was called from the parent routine. Sort results by this column to find the parent routine that uses the Report panel routine more than other parent routines. |

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.
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.
