-All of these tools should be able to work out of the box with RTEMS, or can be customized to read log files from your RTEMS application. '''Please note that many of the tools cannot run on RTEMS itself.''' You'll need to connect your RTEMS system to another computer, which can run the suggested programs for log analysis. 
- *  [http://www.cs.uoregon.edu/research/tau/home.php Tuning and Analysis Utilities (TAU)] - TAU is a set of libraries and tools for profiling and analyzing applications. Events can be logged manually or automatically with Fortran, C++, C, Java, and Python. It provides a variety of tools for analysis, visualization, and data-mining. '''TAU is the recommended tool for application profiling.''' Former QNX users will find that TAU is a viable alternative to QNX's [http://www.qnx.org/developers/docs/6.3.2/ide_en/user_guide/profiler.html Application Profiler].
