Computer systems are modeled before construction to minimize errors and performance bottlenecks. A common modeling approach is to build software models of computer system components, and use realistic trace data as input. This methodology is commonly referred to as trace-driven simulation. Trace-driven simulation can be very accurate if both the system model and input trace data represent the systems under test. The accuracy of the model is typically under the control of the research, but little or no trace data is available that accurately represents current of future workloads. The objective of this work is to describe the Brigham Young University Address Collection Hardware (BACH) and illustrate the types of traces that we can collect. These traces will be made available to others in a national trace repository(http://traces.byu.edu). We also provide some cache performance statistics for the SPEC 2000 integer benchmarks.
