PerfView– Performance Analysis Tool

PerfView is a performance-analysis tool that helps isolate CPU- and memory-related performance issues.

Overview

PerfView is a performance analysis tool focusing on ETW information (ETL files) as well as CLR memory information (heap dumps). It can collect and view ETL files as well as XPERF CSV files. Powerful grouping operators allow you to understand performance profiles in ways other tools can't.

• Non-invasive collection - suitable for use in live, production environments
• Xcopy deployment - copy and run
• Memory
  • Support for very large heaps (gigabytes)
  • Snapshot diffing
