Intel VTune Amplifier provides call stack information in the Call Stack pane, Bottom-up pane and Top-down Tree pane.
Navigate and configure the stack information in the Call Stack pane as follows:
To Do This | Do This |
|---|---|
Navigate between different stacks | Click the next/previous |
View information on several stacks or program units | Ctrl-click to select these stacks or program units in the Bottom-up or Top-down Tree pane. Outcome: The Call Stack pane shows the highest contributing stack from all the selected stacks, with the contribution calculated based on the sum of all selected stacks. All the stacks related to the selection are added to the tab and you can navigate to them using the next/previous |
Open the related source file | Double-click a row in the Call Stack pane. Outcome: The source file opens in the Source/Assembly window, on the code that generates the item in the selected row. For example, in a Locks and Waits analysis result, if you double-click the topmost item of the Object Creation stack, the related source file opens on the source lines that created the corresponding synchronization object. If the source code is not found, you can either locate it manually, or open the Assembly pane for this program unit. If you select a system function, the Source/Assembly window opens the source file of the system function if it is available. If not, it shows the disassembly for the binary file containing this system function. |
View data for different stack types | Use the drop-down list , to choose the stack type for the selected program unit.
For example, when a synchronization object is selected in the Locks and Waits analysis result, you can set the Call Stack pane to show the stacks where that object was created, closed, signaled or waited for. |
View kernel stacks | Select the User/system functions call stack mode on the filter toolbar to view kernel stacks in the user functions stacks:
To locate the call of the kernel function in the assembly code, double click the function in the Call Stack pane:

arrows to view stacks for the selected program unit, estimate stack contribution, and identify the most performance-critical stack.
Manage stack data in the grid (Bottom-up or Top-down Tree pane) as follows:
To Do This | Do This |
|---|---|
Change the stack layout for the Call Stack grouping level | Click the Chain layouts
While tree layouts
NoteChain layouts in the Top-down Tree pane is possible only if there is no branching AND when all values of data columns are the same for the parent and for the child. |
