1) why do so many people say "doubt" when they mean "question"? that's always irked me.
2) callgrind is part of valgrind. It is the module that lets you do per-call profiling of your code. valgrind by default runs a different module that is the memory leak checking module.
Callgrind is just one of the tools in the valgrind suite.
http://valgrind.org/info/tools.html
It is used for profiling.
The "default" valgrind tool, memcheck, is used to detect memory leaks and bad accesses.
