GenSim: A Toolset for Binary Translation and Emulation (8 AM-noon)
Organizers: Harry Wagstaff, Tom Spink, Bruno Bodin, Bjoern Franke (University of Edinburgh)
Website: http://gensim.org
Description: Dynamic binary translation and emulation are increasingly useful tools
in a wide variety of contexts, from backwards compatibility, to
software debugging, to architectural design and prototyping. However,
there is usually a requirement for high performance of such tools,
which can be difficult to attain without detailed knowledge of DBT and
emulation.
This tutorial introduces GenSim, a tool which simplifies the process
of producing emulators and DBT tools, and explain how to use it to
perform simulations, and to perform architectural prototyping. We also
show how these tools can be used for collecting performance metrics,
such as instruction mix and memory traces.
