Biography

Mathieu Desnoyers works at EfficiOS Inc., an operating system efficiency consultancy. He is the author and maintainer of the Linux Trace Toolkit next generation (LTTng) project started in November 2005. He is the main developer of Linux Trace Toolkit Viewer (LTTV), which started in 2003. He works in close collaboration with Google, IBM research, Fujitsu, Nokia, and Ericsson. For the past years, he has prepared the ground for mainlining a tracer in the Linux kernel. He is the author of the Tracepoints found in the Linux kernel, initated the work on “static jump patching” with the “Immediate Values” infrastructure, and has extended the “Local Atomic Operations” found in the mainline kernel. A significant part of the kernel static instrumentation is derived from the LTTng project. In the last year, he authored the “Userspace RCU” library. He completed his Ph.D. in December 2009 on the topic of “Low-Impact Operating System Tracing”.
