Visualization Tool for Trace Log: TraceLogVisualizer (TLV)

Abstract

It is effective to debug software executed in multi processors by analyzing a trace log, but it is inefficient that developers analyze the trace log directly. Therefore, some visualization tools for the trace log had been developed before now, but there are two problems, lacks of general versatility and expandability. To that end, we developed TraceLogVisualizer(TLV), a visualization tool for the trace log that solved those problems. In this paper, we will discuss requirements to achieve general versatility and expandability, and how we achieved them.
