Time, PowerTune tab, settings Dialog Boxes

Select whether to use Time as the default measurement type. Quantify records the amount of time spent in each function, procedure, or method (collectively referred to here as functions) and then converts the time into the equivalent number of machine cycles.

Timing modules can speed up the run-time performance of the program during profiling. The data is accurate for the current run, but is influenced by microprocessor state and memory effects, and so is not always repeatable.

For a DLL, only data for exported functions is recorded. Time for internal, non-exported functions is attributed to the calling exported functions.

Notes:

§      The Time measurement type is not supported for selective instrumentation.

§      Use the Run Time tab to specify the timing method to use to record data for timed modules.
