Application Tap™

The Application Tap™ is a PCIe card that enables the implementation of precisely time stamped software instrumentation with negligible performance overhead. The product is suitable both as an enabler of production systems monitoring, and for a wide range of software performance optimisation tasks.

The Application Tap™ can be applied to a wide range of use cases, including:

  • Software latency monitoring – in conjunction with TipOff
  • Event logging with low overhead, high precision
  • Deterministic code profiling
  • Device driver instrumentation
  • CPU process/thread stats (requires instrumented kernel scheduler)

The Application Tap™ may be used in conjunction with TipOff™ to provide data flow latency monitoring of both network and software components (process, thread or code latency):
