The LatencyTOP team is seeking valuable feedback on the tool, and possible any
user requirements that may not have been implemented yet, in order to make this
tool fulfill the needs of a wide range of user base. All information about the
tool is available on the LatencyTOP project page at
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/latencytop. You can also download a
package, install the tool on your system (simply do 'pkgadd') and play with it
in order to gain an understanding of what the tool is capable of doing right
now.
Please chime in this discussion and let us know what specific things you want
the tool to be able to do or what other enhancements you want to see to the
tool.
Thanks,
The LatencyTOP team
I've been on vacation, sorry for the delay...
It's really interesting to think about the possibilities for this tool,
given the DTrace based back end. Interesting questions to answer:
"Why is my application not running on the CPU?"
"What/who is it waiting on, and what are they doing?"
"Why is my timer late?"
I'm sure others in the community can think of other relevant important
questions to ask. I'm not sure if all of these sorts of questions are
best addressed by a single tool, but they do all relate to understanding
latency in the system.
Thanks for sending this to perf-discuss, there's a great community here
of people who I think can help formulate the requirements.
