   7 Here is a list of the new features in LTTV :<br>
   8 Modular architecture based on plugins.<br>
   9 Reads from several traces. It supports SMP machines.<br>
  10 Synchronized graphical views. Plugins can cooperate to show the trace
  11 together.<br>
  12 Supports event types with metainformation.<br>
  13 Supports huge traces : 10-15 GB.<br>
  14 <br>
  15 <br>
  16 Here are the new features in LTTng/genevent :<br>
  17 Real ~100ns time accuracy, with monotonic increment.<br>
  18 Implements the "facility" event type metainformation.<br>
  19 Supports variable size event records.<br>
  20 Supports nested compound types : structures, array, sequences, unions, strings.<br>
  21 Supports compiler and architecture independant elementary types.<br>
  22 Supports writing to multiple traces at once (eventually with different
  23 filters).<br>
  24 Uses separate RelayFS channels for interrupts, modules, process and facility
  25 events.<br>
