+-- Chisel description
+description = "This visualizes the subsecond offset time of system call execution. This allows repetitive patterns to be identified, which are lost when averaging at a one second granularity. The Y axis (vertical) shows the passage of time. The X axis (horizontal) shows the passage of time within whole or fractions of a second. By default, the X axis range is 1000 milliseconds; this can be specified as an argument (try 100). Each bucket of the heat map, or spectrogram, is shown as a colored rectangle. The color shows how many syscalls fell into that time and subsecond offset range. It can be black (no calls), green (tens of calls/s), yellow (hundreds of calls/s) or red (Thousands of calls/s). Use this chisel in conjunction with filters to visualize latencies for certain processes, types of I/O activity, file systems, etc."
