  • Publication number: 20230325302
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a system is configured to replay and/or reconstruct execution events and system states in real time or substantially in real time starting from the point when execution of a target program has stopped to the point when the user desires to step through the target program's execution in order to debug the software. In an embodiment, a system is configured to efficiently collect trace data that is sufficient to reconstruct the state of a computer system at any point of time from the start of execution to the time execution was stopped. Efficient and effective debugging of the software can be performed using embodiments of the disclosed methods, systems, and devices.

  • Publication number: 20060277221
    Abstract: A file system provides access to data on a storage device so that, for a given volume on the device, read-only client partitions and a read-write client partition are presented with separate but related views of the file system state. Moreover, the read-only partitions do not interfere with each other and do not interfere with the read-write partition, while the read-write partition may delay the read-only partitions. Access to file system blocks is provided by way of separate virtualization trees for the read-only partitions and for the read-write partition. A reader tree represents a consistent (but older) file system state. A writer tree, which has a different root pointer from the reader tree and is partially stored in main memory, represents the state of in-progress file system transactions. When a set of file system transactions is committed, the writer tree root pointer is copied to the reader tree root pointer.
