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,
Aaron Spear - VMware
Chairman, Multicore Association Tools Infrastructure Working Group
