[Question] How do you collect traces via pin for trace driven execution?

[sbird-kick]

I have managed to install scarab (and intel pin 3.15). I want collect pin traces from an arbitrary binary and then use scarab to do trace driven simulation.

I believe the relevant files for collecting traces are here.

However, I can't seem to make those -- it fails because it can't find pinplay.h. It expects them in $PIN_ROOT/extras/pinplay which pin 3.15 does not have. Alternatively, are we expected to install pinplay manually inside $PIN_ROOT/extras/?

After that, what is the entire scheme for collecting and then running pin traces? If there is a readme or documentation for that, please point me to it?

From what I have gathered from the other issues, there seems to be some compatibility issue with the pin traces as well? Please let me know if that will affect the collection of pin traces.

Hello, if you want, i've done some automate scripts in my repository Benchmark, you can use the folder testsScarab, where you can put your C or C++ codes inside "codes" and call the Makefile with: make trace-program
It will trace the programs and create your respective traces inside "traces" folder.
