Retargetable Program Profiling Using High Level Processor Models

Program profiling helps in characterizing program behavior for a target architecture. We have implemented a retargetable simulation driven code profiler from a high-level processor description language, Sim-nML. A programming interface has been provided for building customized profilers. The retargetability makes the profiling tool independent of the target instruction set

Retargetable Program Profiling Using High Level Processor Models

Abstract. Program profiling helps in characterizing program behavior for a target architecture. We have implemented a retargetable simulation driven code profiler from a high-level processor description language, Sim-nML. A programming interface has been provided for building customized profilers. The retargetability makes the profiling tool independent of the target instruction set.
