Abstract

Trace-driven simulation is widely used method to evaluate the performance of the cache memory systems. The accuracy of trace-driven simulation highly depends on the length of the traces and the information contained in the traces. Various methods are used to generate the accurate traces. Among these methods, hardwaer monitoring technique generates the traces which have more information than others. The traces obtained by hardware monitoring technique, have much information such as about context switch, OS references, and timing of memory reference. However, hardware monitoring system has a drawback that it is difficult to be modified to get the traces from various systems. In this paper, a hardware monitoring system is designed using the EPLD(Erasable Programmable Logic Device)s to alleviate the drawback and easy to get the traces from various systems. The designed hardware monitoring system can be operated with high clock frequency up to 66Mhz.
