Homework 1 submission of the semester 2023-24-I of CS422 at IIT Kanpur.

Tools used:

• Intel pin-3.28-98749

Codebase

• HW1.cpp : The main pin tool code for the assignment.
• Makefile : The makefile from pin examples to build the tool.
• HW1.txt : Problem statement of the assignment.
• report.pdf : The report for the assignment.
• runs/ : Contains the output of the tool for the given SPEC2006 benchmarks.

Usage

# Build the tool
make TARGET=ia32 obj-ia32/HW1.so

# Run the tool on a benchmark
cd /path/to/spec_2006/400.perlbench/
pin -t /path/to/obj-ia32/HW1.so -f 207 -o perlbench.diffmail.out -- ./perlbench_base.i386 -I./lib diffmail.pl 4 800 10 17 19 300 > perlbench.ref.diffmail.out 2> perlbench.ref.diffmail.err

• -f flag is used to specify the fast-forward instruction count in billions.
• -o flag is used to specify the output file.
• -t flag is used to specify the pin tool to be used.
• -- is used to separate the pin tool arguments from the application arguments.
