Abstract: Techniques for processing multi-source traces from computing systems are disclosed. One example technique includes receiving a user command to align a first event from a first trace to a second event from a second trace. The first trace has a first anchor event temporally aligned with a second anchor event of the second trace. The technique also includes setting a time in a timestamp of the first anchor event as a base time, calculating first and second differences between times in timestamps of the first and second events relative to the base time, respectively, deriving a ratio between the first difference and the second difference, and scaling time intervals between adjacent events of the second trace using the derived ratio such that the second event from the second trace is temporally aligned with the first event of the first trace while the first and second anchor events remain temporally aligned.
