Streamlined Performance Insights Across Processes
The Visual Studio Profiler’s CPU Usage tool and Instrumentation tool now supports multi-process analysis, providing a unified view of CPU activity across multiple processes. With performance graphs featuring distinct, color-coded stacked swim lanes for each process, diagnosing and optimizing CPU usage is now more efficient than ever.
Tackling Multi-Process Complexity
Analyzing CPU usage for applications across multiple processes has traditionally been challenging. Identifying performance bottlenecks with multiple processes requires manual correlation of data across separate views and slowing down optimization efforts. With this improvement, Visual Studio directly addresses these challenges.
The CPU Usage and Instrumentation tool now offers:
- CPU usage by Process: Stacked area charts with clear, color-coded swim lanes make it easy to see CPU usage across processes.
- Multiple processes representation in the detail’s views like caller/callee, Call Tree, Functions, Modules and Flame Graph.
- Clear Process Identification: Instantly identify which processes are consuming the most resources.
- Process filter: Filtering option to filter out the graphs and details view to focus on specific processes relevant to your profiling session. The filter option is located on the top left corner of the summary page.
- Enhanced Diagnosis Efficiency: Spot cross-process issues faster with a unified, streamlined view.
