Dynamic performance & behavior analysis using Mentor Embedded Sourcery Analyzer and LTTng

ABSTRACT

For Linux systems, the Linux Trace Toolkit can be an invaluable source of trace data providing the raw material needed for performance and behavioral insights. Mentor Embedded Sourcery Analyzer gives engineers the ability to reduce the sea of data that otherwise might overwhelm developers by placing the data into valuable graphs and analysis that illuminate vexing performance and behavior challenges. Where developers need to correlate additional information not covered by the Linux Trace Toolkit’s trace data, Sourcery Analyzer can further assist by parsing, interpreting, and time correlating disparate data sources. Once present in Sourcery Analyzer, developers can utilize the measurement and calculation tools to synthesize disparate data sources into one cohesive view.
