Software debugging and monitoring for heterogeneous many-core telecom systems

通信和计算基础设施正迅速向访问云中大量服务器的不同格式(手持手机、平板电脑或车载系统)的移动客户端发展。该基础设施的复杂性在过去几十年中迅速增加，客户端、服务器和网络节点中的处理器现在并行运行多个处理器核心，通常具有特定于应用程序的硬件支持(视频或网络处理)。其中一些硬件模块包含超过10亿个逻辑元件(晶体管)。增加这种复杂性的是对虚拟化的日益依赖，这隐藏了硬件的特殊性，并允许应用程序在几个不同的型号上运行，但使性能更难分析。

The communication and computing infrastructure is rapidly evolving towards mobile clients in different formats (handheld phones, tablets or on-board systems in cars) accessing a large number of servers in the Cloud. The complexity of that infrastructure has been increasing rapidly over the last several decades with the processors in the clients, servers and networking nodes now running many processor cores in parallel, often with application specific hardware support (video or network processing). Some of these hardware modules contain over one billion logic elements (transistors). Adding to this complexity is the increasing reliance on virtualization, which hides the specificities of the hardware and let an application run on several different models, but makes the performance more difficult to analyse.
