Windows CE eHow-tos and Tutorials! WOW!!

Recognizing Excessive Thread Switching

Sometimes the source of a performance problem is not that code is too slow, but that threads switch too frequently. When the system switches between threads, the system consumes extra cycles in scheduling activities such as selecting the next thread to

Remote Kernel Tracker: More things you should recognize

I have a few more examples of patterns you can recognize when you’re looking at CeLog threading data in Remote Kernel Tracker. Note: these images are wacky heights because I tweaked them to cut off white space that didn’t contain any CeLog data. Thread

Introduction to Remote Kernel Tracker

When you connect to a device with Remote Kernel Tracker, or when you open a log file that has been collected by one of the other CeLog tools, you’ll see a lot of data you may not understand. At MEDC this past week, a few people asked for a better explanation

CeLog documentation

At long last, a big chunk of work I did to add documentation of CeLog & Remote Kernel Tracker has finally shown up in a form you can view. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/wcedebug5/html/wce50conEventTracking.asp I did a huge brain dump and

What WINDOWS CE debugging tools would you like to see?

Just an informal survey -- I use some of our tools all the time, some rarely. I have my own nitpicks I'd like fixed and features I'd like to see added. But there's no guarantee I see the world the way you do. What are your opinions? Here are some ideas

I survived!

Hooray, I survived DevCon! The kernel talk and perf talk were ready to go by Monday, and after many short nights last week and this week, my lab was ready “enough” by Wednesday morning. The handouts are missing some screenshots and a lot of

Another DevCon talk

Looks like I'll also be giving the “Inside the Windows CE Kernel” talk at DevCon. It means a little bit of studying for me but it shouldn't be a disaster. It's a lot of content for an hour though. I think my Hands-On Lab with CeLog/Kernel

See you at DevCon!

Sorry I haven't been posting any content. Mainly I expect content to come out of newsgroup interaction and general customer questions, and I have been a slacker about being on the newsgroups. Too many high-priority things going on right now. I'll be giving
