Abstract
The efficient programming of todays multi-core platforms has become a more and more difficult task due to the increasing complexity of the overall system. Especially the lack of an integrated HW/SW co-analysis methodology which allows to explore the behavior of programming models, runtime system and the virtual platform model of the multi-core system leads to the need for new developments in the field of HW/SW co-design tools. In order to support the HW/SW co-design we present a simulation based tracing and profiling methodology for multi-core platforms following a generic and non-intrusive approach supporting easy adaptability, fast applicability and accurate performance measures.
