Pattern based failure analysis of Real-Time systems - Thomas Gleixner, Linutronix

Abstract

Analyzing RT latency problems can be hard for the casual user. We therefor try to utilize pattern analysis for aiding developers and users in analyzing latency problems. I'll present an overview of our approach of an annotated scheduling pattern database and the technologies to match a trace from a user system against it. An outlook into other use cases like failure prediction is given.

Audience

Users and developers of realtime systems and developers of tracing, debugging and failure analysis tools.
