Abstract
Techniques are described herein that are capable of establishing causality order of computer trace records. A computer trace record is information that indicates an event that occurs with regard to execution of a computer program. For instance, machines in a distributed computer system may generate such computer trace records as the machines execute the computer program. The computer trace records may be ordered in an aggregated trace to accurately reflect the causality order of the computer trace records. A causality order of computer trace records is a temporal sequence of the computer trace records in which each cause event is indicated to occur before each effect event that is caused by the cause event. A cause event is an event that causes an effect event. An effect event is an event that is caused by a cause event.
