Understanding the impact of compiler options on performance

Understanding the impact of compiler options on performance

In this post, we’re going to understand how the combination of LTTng and Tracealyzer can shine light on how compiler options impact performance. The method discussed can come in handy whenever we are evaluating the performance of multiple candidate implementations of a particular feature.

5 Tips for Fast Debugging of Deployed IoT Devices

The real test of IoT devices comes after shipping, when thousands of end users start using your product, sometimes in unexpected and untested ways. No software is entirely bug free, so some users will run into those remaining bugs. The question is how many and what you do about it.

Analyzing State Machines

Analyzing State Machines

In the previous Hands On post we introduced the concept of intervals, which is the time between any two events and can be added to the timeline. In this post, we will take the interval one step further and see how we can use Tracealyzer to monitor state machines.
