[lttng-dev] Using Babeltrace to write CTF for MPI application

[Jonathan Rajotte Julien]

Hi Rocky,

Not sure if pertinent but did you take a look at the barectf [1] project?

Cheers

All streams share the same stream class (and metadata). All processes have access to the same file system.  I am using the C CTF writer API using this test as an example:

Since each process has its own address space, all processes want stream id of 0.
