Portable trace compression through instruction interpretation
2011
(IEEE ISPASS) IEEE INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF SYSTEMS AND SOFTWARE
Execution traces are a useful tool in studying processor and program behavior. However, the amount of information that needs to be stored makes them impractical in uncompressed form. This is especially true for full-state traces that can capture up to kilobytes of processor state for every instruction. In this paper we present Zcompr -a compression scheme that allows practical usage of full-state traces that are billions of instructions long. It allows complete state reproducibility, sufficient
