All Go profilers work by collecting samples of stack trace and putting them into [pprof profiles](./pprof.md). Ignoring some details, a pprof profile is just a frequency table of stack traces like shown below:
| stack trace | samples/count |
| ------------ | ------------- |
| main;foo | 5 |
| main;foo;bar | 3 |
| main;foobar | 4 |
| stack trace | count |
| ------------ | ----- |
| main;foo | 5 |
| main;foo;bar | 3 |
| main;foobar | 4 |
Let's zoom in on the second stack trace in the table above: `main;foo;bar`. A Go developer will usually be more familiar with seeing a stack trace like this as rendered by `panic()` or [`runtime.Stack()`](https://golang.org/pkg/runtime/#Stack) shown below:
