[ltt-dev] LTTng and multi-core

[Klein, Russell]

Mathieu,

I am viewing the results in lttv-gui, I have version 0.12.20.  Are you
asking me to run it in "lttv"?  I'm not sure how to run that.

There are 2 views in lttv-gui, which seem to contradict each other.  In
the "event viewer" the COREID field is the same for all events
associated with all threads created by the application.  However, in the
"control flow viewer" it shows several threads/processes as concurrently
in the "run" state.  Which I assume can only occur if the threads are on
different cores.  

I'm not sure how to interpret the "resource viewer", but it appears to
have a lot of activity on all cores during the execution of the app.
This would tend to confirm that the threads are spread across the cores,
as expected.

Thanks, Russ

Can you try viewing your trace with the LTTV viewer and compare ?

It's available on the http://lttng.org website.

Thanks,
