A trace simplification technique for effective debugging of concurrent programs
Concurrent programs are notoriously difficult to debug. We see two main reasons for this: 1) concurrency bugs are often difficult to reproduce, 2) traces of buggy concurrent execu...

Utilizing Debug Information to Compact Loops in Large Program Traces
In recent years, dynamic program execution traces have been utilized in an attempt to better understand the runtime behavior of various software systems. The unfortunate reality of...

The Performance of Runtime Data Cache Prefetching in a Dynamic Optimization System
Traditional software controlled data cache prefetching is often ineffective due to the lack of runtime cache miss and miss address information. To overcome this limitation, we imp...
