+The **rtla osnoise** tool is an interface for the *osnoise* tracer. The
+*osnoise* tracer dispatches a kernel thread per-cpu. These threads read the
+time in a loop while with preemption, softirq and IRQs enabled, thus
+allowing all the sources of operating system noise during its execution.
+The *osnoise*'s tracer threads take note of the delta between each time
+read, along with an interference counter of all sources of interference.
+At the end of each period, the *osnoise* tracer displays a summary of
+the results.
