• Test Case README (sample_trace.tar.gz)
• Trace generator editor
  To help debug, a tracegenerator tool kit is provided. You can write an input using a text format (the input format is described in README and a sample input is provided. (input.txt)). Please compile the toolkit with "make command" and it will produce a trace file that can be read from the simulator. Please note that the end of trace file is not created correctly so you must specify the number of instructions to simulate in the simulator.
  e.g.) sim --print_inst=1 --trace_file="test1.pzip" --max_inst_count=9
