aggregate run
The dataset to which analysis data is collected while you are performing a runtime analysis. Each time you take a snapshot, a copy of the aggregate dataset is created in memory, and a snapshot entry is made for the copy in the Navigator. When your program exits, the aggregate run dataset is displayed as
in the Navigator.
Each aggregate run , snapshot,
and diff
Navigator entry represents a separate dataset which is kept in memory until you either close the entry, or exit your runtime analysis tool. Since you normally use snapshots and diffs to perform your data analysis, you can conserve memory by discarding the unneeded aggregate run datasets. Select Settings > Preferences > Workspace > Discard excess memory profiling data to change the default to automatically discard the aggregate run dataset after each program run.
