Choosing Data Format

Bar

Display a graphical indicator of the amount of CPU time spent on this row item (blue bar) or the processor utilization during CPU or Wait time (composed bar). The longer the bar, the higher the value.

Composed bar is available for the Concurrency and Locks and Waits analyses only.

Percent

Display the amount of time calculated as the percentage of the cell value to the sum of values in this column for the whole result (or to the non-filtered-out items if a filter is applied). For the nested columns (for example, CPU Time > Idle), the sum of values used in the formula is based on the top-level column values (for example, CPU Time).

In the compare mode, the same formula is used for per-result columns (for example: CPU Time:<result 1 name>, CPU Time:<result 2 name>). But for the Difference column (for example: CPU Time:Difference), the percent value is calculated as the cell value / sum of values in this column for the first result (or for non-filtered-out items if a filter is applied).

Percent and Bar

Display both the percent and a bar.

Time

Display the amount of time the processor spent on this row item. The unit size (m, s, ms) is added to each cell value.

Time and Bar

Display both the amount of time and a bar.

Counts

For the Locks and Waits viewpoint, display the number of times the corresponding system wait API was called. For the event-based sampling results (Hardware Issues, Hardware Event Counts, Hardware Event Sample Counts, and General Exploration viewpoints), display event count based on the number of samples collected. Event Counts = Samples x Sample After value.

Counts and Bar

Display both the counts and a bar.

Scientific

Display performance values in the scientific notation. Typically this format is recommended if a value is < 0.001.

Scientific and Bar

Display both scientific notation and a bar.

Double

For some viewpoints available for the hardware event-based sampling analysis types, display the percentage of CPU cycles used by a program unit. For example, 1.533 means that 153% of CPU cycles were used to handle a particular hardware issue during the execution of the selected program unit.

Double and Bar

For some viewpoints available for the hardware event-based sampling analysis types, display the percentage of CPU cycles used by a program unit and corresponding graphical indicator.

Percent of Collection Time

For some metrics (for example, OpenMP* and MPI metrics), display the Time value as percent of Collection Time, which is the wall time from the beginning to the end of collection, excluding Paused Time.
