To see summary metrics for a function or load object:

1. Use the Unit radio buttons to select function display or load-object display.

2. Select the function or load object by clicking it in the right Function List display pane.

3. Choose View Show Summary Metrics to open the Summary Metrics Window.

The Summary Metrics window contains the following information, exclusive and inclusive, for the selected function or load object, provided the information has been collected by The Sampling Collector or the collect command (see the collect(1) man page):

• User CPU time
• Wall clock time (LWP time in thread 1)
• Total LWP time
• System CPU time
• Wait CPU time
• Text-page fault time
• Data-page fault time
• Other wait time
• Synchronization wait count
• Synchronization wait time
• Hardware counter overflow metrics

In addition, for functions, the Summary Metrics window lists the source file, object file, and load object where code for the function resides.

Note - The information does not have to appear in the Function List display to be visible in the Function Metrics or Load Object Metrics window. This means that the window is a handy way to access all available function data without having to go into the Function List Metrics Dialog Box and select all of it.
