1.Does the application run concurrently? Investigate its use of synchronization primitives. 2. (optional, advanced) Develop a tool for Linux called tsastat(8) that prints columns for multiple thread state analysis states, with time spent in each. This can behave similarly to pidstat(1) and produce a rolling output. Trivia: since the first edition I’m not aware of anyone solving this. I proposed a thread state analysis talk (TSA) for OSCON, and planned to develop a Linux TSA tool for the talk; however, my talk was rejected (my fault: my abstract was lousy), and I have yet to develop the tool. EuroBSDcon invited me to give a keynote, for which I covered TSA, and I did develop a tool for it: tstates.d, for FreeBSD [Gregg 17a].
