Thread Load

Select the Threads tab to display the Thread Load. The Thread Load graph and related table show information about threads that were active during the selected time period. The graph and table show the CPU load separated according to the executed thread, independent of the binary or function in which execution took place. Figure 1 shows an example graph with the Threads tab selected.

Description of table columns:

Columns may be reordered, resized, and sorted by clicking or dragging column headers.

The final row of the information section contains summary information about all threads below a threshold, if a threshold limit has been specified. The threshold row is not affected by sorting, it is always the last row.

You can check or uncheck items to be displayed in the graph or right-click to display a context menu of various options. The color next to a checkbox corresponds to that item’s color in the graph.

For SMP systems with more than one CPU it is also possible to select to

This is done by using either the context menu, which you can open by right-clicking on the CPU graph; or in the Investigator menu's CPU Load Graphs part.

In the separate graphs view, there is also a separate legend table created for each graph. You can choose the table you want to view by using the tabs above the table.
