,,magic-trace.org is a fork of Perfetto, with minor modifications. We'd like to thank the people at Google responsible for it. It's a high quality codebase that solves a hard problem well.''

I don't like that this comment is hidden on the bottom of the page, as my first impression of the page was that the work of creating the high frequency trace was done by Jane Street (I don't like it in the other direction either, when a big company ,,rebrands'' what a person/small company does).

The trace-producing part of magic-trace is built on top of the more primitive Intel Processing Trace feature, not perfetto. It's still standing on the shoulder of a giant for sure, but few people would be able to effectively utilize Intel Processing Trace without the ergonomic improvements.

perfetto is "just" the profiler UI.

Thanks, it wasn’t clear what was the modification, now it makes more sense.
