We present a method for developing a multiple processor workload characterization based on actual system level traces of user and kernel accesses. We trace a single processor system executing an N-processor workload. We then perform static analysis on the trace and produce individual process characterizations. These characterizations can be used to build input workloads for models of multiple processor systems. This provides a method for using real workload traces to drive multiple processor simulations without requiring that a similarly configured machine exist. Additionally, a wealth of static information can be obtained from the traces. As an example, we have traced and analyzed the popular commercial benchmark, TPC-B. We present results from the analysis.
