Description Andrew Overholt CLA 2010-06-02 17:39:45 EDT 
There is interest in supporting data collection from remote targets and doing local analysis.  I'm not exactly sure how this would work, but at a minimum it would be nice to have local launching and visualization of results for valgrind run on a remote target.
Comment 1 Elliott Baron CLA 2010-06-02 18:23:04 EDT 
This would be interesting to do, and we know there's some user interest in remote profiling. I'll look into it. Perhaps we could make use of RSE.
Comment 2 Andrew Overholt CLA 2010-06-03 09:35:31 EDT 
Using TMF may also be useful.  My limited understanding of TMF is that you have a small, native agent that sits on the target and facilitates communication with the host.  There's an example agent that does a bunch of stuff that we'd probably need.
Comment 3 Andrew Overholt CLA 2010-06-03 09:36:10 EDT 
Oops, I said TMF when I meant TCF.
Comment 4 Elliott Baron CLA 2010-11-28 21:18:03 EST 
The current implementation in trunk needs further attention and will have to wait for a future release. Current problems include not being able to find TCF in any update site (I think this might be a re-namespacing issue), and some program output not being received on the local host.

Remote valgrind feature is in master. Please open specific bugs for missing things.
