About

Profile Explorer is a tool for viewing CPU profiling traces collected through the Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) infrastructure on machines with x64 and ARM64 CPUs. Its focus is on presenting the slowest parts of the profiled application through an easy-to-use but detailed UI consisting of several views, such as a hot function list, flame graph, call tree, timeline, assembly code view, and source file view.
