Abstract
Two issues arising in the design of trace-file based performance analysis tools are discussed: handling categorical rather than just numeric data and correctly inferring system behavior from trace data by using not one but multiple trace files. The issues are illustrated using the problem of determining whether damaging oscillations occur in the all points shortest path algorithm when used for routing messages between processors. Solutions used by the Chitra trace analysis tool are discussed.
