+See the LITMUS Wiki page for a general explanation of this tool.
+
+unit_trace consists of two modules and a core. The ``core'' is basically
+a bunch of code, implemented as Python iterators, which converts the
+raw trace data into a sequence of record objects, implemented in
+Python. The modules are:
+
+1) A simple module that outputs the contents of each record to
+stdout. This module, along with most of the core, can be found in the
+reader/ directory. There is a sample script -- look at
+sample_script.py in the reader/ directory (it's pretty
+self-explanatory). Note that Mac is the one who coded most of the
+this, though I can probably try to answer any questions about it since
+I've had to go in there from time to time.
+
+2) The visualizer. Now, the GUI as it stands is very basic -- it's
+basically just a shell for the core visualizer component. How to open
+a file is obvious -- but note that you can open several files at a
+time (since more often than not a trace consists of more than one
+file, typically one for each CPU).
+
+Most of the code for this is in the viz/ directory, but to run it, the
+file you want to execute is visualizer.py (in the main directory).
+
+A few notes on how to use the GUI:
+
+-- How to scroll is pretty obvious, though I still need to implement
+   keypresses (very trivial, but when making a GUI component from
+   scratch it always seems like there are a million little things that
+   you need to do :)
+
+-- You can view either by task or by CPU; click the tabs at the top.
+
+-- Mousing over the items (not the axes, though, since those are
+   pretty self-explanatory) gives you information about the item that
+   you moused over, displayed at the bottom.
+
+-- You can select items. You can click them individually, one at a
+   time, or you can drag or ctrl-click to select multiple.
+
+-- What you have selected is independent of what mode (task or CPU)
+   you are operating in. So if you are curious, say, when a certain
+   job is running compared to other jobs on the same CPU, you can
+   click a job in task mode and then switch to CPU mode, and it will
+   remain selected.
+
+-- Right-click to get a menu of all the items you have selected (in
+   the future this menu will be clickable, so that you can get the
+   information about an item in its own window).
+
+-- It is a bit laggy when lots of stuff is on the screen at once. This
+   should be fairly easy to optimize, if I have correctly identified
+   the problem, but it's not a huge issue (it's not _that_ slow).
+
+But wait, there's more:
+
+-- As of now unit-trace has no way to determine the algorithm that was
+   used on the trace you're loading. This is important since certain
+   sections of code work only with G-EDF in particular. The point of
+   having this special code is either to filter out bogus data or to
+   generate extra information about the schedule (e.g. priority
+   inversions). Of course, you can leave these extra steps out and
+   it will still work, but you might get extra ``bogus'' information
+   generated by the tracer or you might not get all the information
+   you want.
+
+-- To add or remove these extra steps, take a look at visualizer.py
+   and sample_script.py. You will see some code like this:
+
+   stream = reader.trace_reader.trace_reader(file_list)
+   #stream = reader.sanitizer.sanitizer(stream)
+   #stream = reader.gedf_test.gedf_test(stream)
+   
+   Uncommenting those lines will run the extra steps in the pipeline.
+   The sanitizer filters out some bogus data (stuff like ``pid 0''),
+   but so far it's only been coded for a select number of traces.
+   gedf_test generates extra information about G-EDF schedules
+   (the traces that are named st-g?-?.bin). If you try to run
+   gedf_test on anything else, it will most likely fail.
+
+-- What traces are you going to use? Well, you will probably want to
+   use your own, but there are some samples you can try in the traces/
+   directory (a couple of them do give error messages, however).
+
+How to install:
+
+You should type
+
+git clone -b wip-gary ssh://cvs.cs.unc.edu/cvs/proj/litmus/repo/unit-trace.git
+
+to check out the repository. Note that you shouldn't check out the
+master branch, as it's pretty outdated. It's all Python so far, so no
+compiling or anything like that is necessary.
+
+Requirements:
+
+You're going to need Python 2.5 to run this. You'll also need to
+install the pycairo and pygtk libraries. If anyone has questions about
+how to do this or what these are, ask me.
+
+Miscellanies:
+
+Of course, let me know if you find any bugs (I'm sure there are
+plenty, though, since this is fairly alpha software), if you're
+unable to run it, or if you have any questions.
