INDIVIDUAL SYNTHETIC BENCHMARKS AND PARTIAL DECOMPILATION

In this paper we propose the following new approach for the constructi on of synthetic benchmarks: i) collect traces T on the system bus by m onitoring hardware. ii) construct high level language programs P which generate the same workload as the traces T. iii) construct the synthe tic benchmark from the programs P. Steps i) and iii) are straightforwa rd. We present an algorithm for step ii) and report experimental resul ts which are encouraging. This opens the way to the automatic construc tion of personal synthetic benchmarks.
