New instrumentation features in windows 7
Gad J Meir
Windows 7 introduce new built in framework that easily enables you to add instrumentation to your application. Adding tracing or performance counters is manifest based and eventually requires just one line of code to integrate. The operating system has all the built in tools require to start, stop, collect and manipulate the data. This framework can be used for diagnostic, performance measuring, and real time monitoring. The overhead of the system is negligible and it can easily be accessed from native and managed code. Some of those features can be downgrade to older OSs.
In the lecture I’ll introduce the framework, show how to use it from the OS’s build in tools and demo how to integrate it in code for both managed and unmanaged scenarios.
