– A Programmable and Extensible Toolkit for Analyzing Event Traces of Message Passing Programs –

Abstract. This paper describes a new meta-tool named EARL which consists of a new highlevel trace analysis language and its interpreter which allows to easily construct new trace analysis tools. Because of its programmability and flexibility, EARL can be used for a wide range of event trace analysis tasks. It is especially well-suited for automatic and for view on an event trace the EARL interpreter provides to the user, and give an overview about the EARL language. Finally, a set of EARL script examples are used to demonstrate the features of EARL.
