| '''Synopsis'''
| | [[Tutorials:SynchroTrace Sigil IISWC 2015]] |
| | |
| The [[SynchroTrace]] simulation framework enables exploration of a large design space. It has demonstrated speed and accuracy in aiding uncore designers for cache and network-on-chip design decisions, and is currently being integrated into Gem5 as an official patch.

| [http://dpac.ece.drexel.edu/current-research-projects/sigil/ Sigil] is our workload profiling toolset that has enabled SynchroTrace. It captures and classifies a workload's computation and communication operations, and intercepts synchronization actions within threads. Sigil has been used for accelerator co-design research by gathering communication edges between functions/threads to provide insight to the ''true'' cost of a workload. Additionally, its unique ability to create non-deterministic traces in a multithreaded trace is utilized for truly architecture-agnostic simulations.
