Karim Yaghmour

While everyone was hacking away at Linux, Karim took a detour and wrote his own distributed micro-kernel, Osiris, in order to get to the bottom of operating system design and implementation.

Having done that, he moved on to Linux and implemented the Linux Trace Toolkit which enables users to trace the dynamic behavior of Linux without modifying the behavior of the observed software components.

Since its initial release, LTT has been widely adopted and has seen many contributions and additions including support for the RTAI real-time Linux extension.

Karim now actively maintains LTT while contributing to RTAI, RT-Net and various other projects. He also maintains a teaching position at the Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal where he still continues various research activities in the field of performance monitoring and operating systems.
