Hello all, I was looking at the CTF parser in the TMF project of Linux Tools. I have come up with three points where scalability will be an issue. I am sending 3 emails, each one describing one of the issues so we can aggregate them more cohesively. First a primer, CTF is a file format that has traces written in packets, the packets are parts of files in streams, the streams are files in a directory.
Issue 3: Event size As hinted in the previous email, it can definitely be a possibility that traces can have events that are too large to fit into memory. These events could also make reading a packet difficult, since the packet could have a said event in the middle, and therefore, we could end up with a packet that cannot be read properly with the sliding window memory map, unless corrective actions are taken. Proposed solution: Would anyone do this? I see it as a longer term problem and as a known limitation, unless someone says "Hey, I want 8gb events!". _______________________________________________ linuxtools-dev mailing list linuxtools-dev@eclipse.org https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxtools-dev
