Van de Ven: Introducing ‘timechart’
Arjan van de Ven introduces a new tool, called “timechart” on his weblog. Timechart is meant to help visualize and diagnose latency problems in a running Linux system. “To solve this, I have been working on a new tool, called Timechart, based on ‘perf’, that has the objective to show on a system level what is going on, at various levels of detail. In fact, one of the design ideas behind timechart is that the output should be ‘infinitely zoomable’; that is, if you want to know more details about something, you should be able to zoom in to get these details.“
