Interpreting VTune's resutls

[hougj]

Recently I have been working on optimizing a Fortran code.  I have noticed that the VTune profiling results indicate one of the subroutine declaration line took a considerable amount of time.  I'm not sure how this should be interpreted.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks!

When a procedure is entered there is "prologue code" that gets executed to make the dummy arguments available in a manner that the rest of the routine wants. I don't see anything in your screenshot that would imply any significant work in the prologue. Drilling down into the assembly might reveal something more of interest.

Thanks a lot for your suggestion Steve and sorry for my very late feedback.  I have changed the computation algorithm and this problem seems to be gone now.  Maybe this subroutine had been called way too many times before.
