Abstract

PopSPY is an instrumentation tool for the PowerPC micro-processor family that modies code at the executable level, providing the ability to instrument a wide range of applications including commercial programs. PopSPY instruments sequential, multithreaded and multiprocess applications including their associated dynamic libraries. PopSPY uses a dynamic trace library that either generates execution traces of applications or communicates with an execution driven simulator for accurate multiprocessor simulation.
