Best for visualizing thread parallelism on available cores, finding areas with high or low concurrency, and identifying serial bottlenecks in your code
Provides information on how many threads were running at each moment during application execution
Includes threads which are currently running or ready to run and therefore are not waiting at a defined waiting or blocking API
Also shows CPU time while the hotspot was executing and estimates its effectiveness either by CPU usage or by Threads Concurrency
