Overview

Omnitrace is designed to be highly extensible. Internally, it leverages the timemory performance analysis toolkit to manage extensions, resources, data, etc.

Data Collection Modes

• Dynamic instrumentation
  • Runtime instrumentation
    • Instrument executable and shared libraries at runtime
  • Binary rewriting
    • Generate a new executable and/or library with instrumentation built-in
• Statistical sampling
  • Periodic software interrupts per-thread
• Process-level sampling
  • Background thread records process-, system- and device-level metrics while the application executes
• Critical trace generation

Data Analysis

• High-level summary profiles with mean/min/max/stddev statistics
  • Low overhead, memory efficient
  • Ideal for running at scale
• Comprehensive traces
  • Every individual event/measurement
• Critical trace analysis (alpha)
