Panorama

The ALF team is developing several software prototypes for research purposes: compilers, architectural simulators, programming environments, ....

Among the many prototypes developed in the project, we describe here ATMI, a microarchitecture temperature model for processor simulation, STiMuL, a temperature model for steady state studies, ATC, an address trace compressor, HAVEGE, an unpredictable random number generator, tiptop, a user-level Linux utility that collects data from hardware performance counters for running tasks, and Padrone, a platform for dynamic binary analysis and optimization.
