application is only a tiny part of the full trace. This allows traces representing long execution runs to be saved on disk. The compiler also produces an application specific trace regeneration program. The regeneration program is a post-processing tool which accepts the compacted trace and outputs the full

The instrumentation of applications to generate run-time information and statistics is an important enabling technology for the development of tools that support the fast and accurate simulation of computer architectures. In addition, instrumentation tools play an equally important role

Robust and powerful software instrumentation tools are essential for program analysis tasks such as profiling, performance evaluation, and bug detection. To meet this need, we have developed a new instrumentation system called Pin. Our goals are to provide easy-to-use, portable, transparent

work as well as the range of application of Atom kernel tools. We go on to discuss some techniques that are generally useful when using Atom with the kernel. Prior techniques restrict kernel measurements to the domain of exotic systems research. We hope Atom technology will make kernel instrumentation

Dynamic binary instrumentation (DBI) frameworks make it easy to build dynamic binary analysis (DBA) tools such as checkers and profilers. Much of the focus on DBI frameworks has been on performance; little attention has been paid to their capabilities. As a result, we believe the potential of DBI

Abstract. This paper describes the CIntermediate Language: a highlevel representation along with a set of tools that permit easy analysis and source-to-source transformation of C programs. Compared to C, CIL has fewer constructs. It breaks down certain complicated constructs of C into simpler ones

Paradyn is a performance measurement tool for parallel and distributed programs. Paradyn uses several novel technologies so that it scales to long running programs (hours or days) and large (thousand node) systems, and automates much of the search for performance bottlenecks. It can provide precise

This paper describes a dynamic instrumentation tool for the Linux Kernel which allows a stock Linux kernel to be modi ed while in execution, with instruments implemented as kernel modules. The Intel x86 architecture poses a particular problem, due to variable length instructions, which this paper

Emerging high-performance applications require the ability to exploit diverse, geographically distributed resources. These applications use high-speed networks to integrate supercomputers, large databases, archival storage devices, advanced visualization devices, and/or scientific instruments
