Hi Ingo,

I thought it might be a useful point of reference to mention that there is a commitment to CTF for more than just LTTng. The Multicore Association and member companies including TI, Freescale, Samsung, Mentor Graphics, Wind River Systems, VMware and others intend to use CTF as a lingua franca for correlation of traces taken from different tracing technologies in heterogeneous multi-core systems. Linux is pivotal here of course, but we are also aggregating various types of hardware traces as well as instrumentation trace from bare metal, RTOS's, and other OS's. Many of the requirements that went into the draft CTF specification were driven by this working groups experience in the embedded industry and many different legacy tracing technologies. While Mathieu has been instrumental in creating CTF, he is certainly not the only one with a vested interest in its future.

respectfully,
