Abstract :
The authors describe a trace collection system that provides complete, accurate, and long traces. A methodology for generating multiprocessor traces from uniprocessor traces is presented, and the implementation of a multiprocesser simulator is discussed. Some programs that contain multiple processes with synchronization information have been run on a uniprocessor system to collect traces utilizing a hardware trace collection system. These traces are used to simulate a multiprocessor system
