Simulator features
- Interval model: a fast, high-abstraction level core simulation model using the interval model
- CPI stack generation
- Python scripting support (DVFS control, etc.)
- Simulation statistics collection (sim.stats)
- Support scripts for parsing and understanding statistics
- Multi-OS support (RedHat, Ubuntu, Debian support)
- Easy debugging of the simulator, and applications running in Pin (--gdb, --appdebug)
- ROI (region of interest) support
- Multiple instrumentation modes
- Faster cache-only pre-ROI simulation before detailed simulation
- Stackable configurations
- Example: Use the nehalem microarchitecture with the big-cache configuration ("-c nehalem -c big-cache")
Hardware features
- Accurate core model
- Parametric shared caches
- Modern Pentium-M-style branch predictor
