The Summary Tab

The Summary tab shows all the recorded metrics for the selected object, both as values and percentages, and information on the selected object. The selected object can be a PC, a source line, a function, or a load object. The information includes the name, address and size of the function or load object, and for functions, source lines and PCs, the name of the source file, object file, and load object. For hardware counters that count in cycles, there are two lines for each metric. The first line shows the times, the second line shows the cycle count.

The Summary tab is updated whenever a new object is selected.

When you are using the Functions or Callers-Callees tab to locate potential performance problems, you can refer to the Summary tab to determine whether a function has other metrics that might be worth examining.
