Overview
The Trace CPU model plays back elastic traces, which are dependency and timing annotated traces generated by the Elastic Trace Probe attached to the O3 CPU model. The focus of the Trace CPU model is to achieve memory-system (cache-hierarchy, interconnects and main memory) performance exploration in a fast and reasonably accurate way instead of using the detailed but slow O3 CPU model.
