A Modular Workflow to Dynamically Instrument and Treat Information in Multi-Process Environments

Abstract

This paper presents a workflow in order to generate and collect execution information in multi-process environments, which are suitable for simulating and studying private and shared cache organizations. We have developed a main tool that makes dynamic instrumentation with PIN, a controller to administrate the execution of processes and three workflow application modules to generate programs traces, simulate cache memories and manage the execution of several programs in parallel.
