Description

As a user who wishes to compare:

  • “Before and after” traces
  • Contexts (hardware x vs. hardware y)
  • System/software configurations

I need an easy way to compare two trace visualizations, so I can visually reason over the similarities or differences, and make decisions according to what I see.

Possible solutions:

  • Splitscreen?
  • Transparent overlay?

Research direction

The issue names no file, test, or entry point, so first map the trace visualization components and their existing rendering flow. Define how two traces should be presented for before-and-after, hardware, and configuration comparisons, then verify that users can visually inspect similarities and differences.
