Trace driven simulation is a well-established method of performance analysis for single processor computer systems. However, efficient and accurate memory address tracing for parallel computer systems is not well understood. The authors present a critical survey of recently implemented approaches to address tracing and highlight the issues specific to collection of traces for both shared and distributed memory parallel computers. These issues include potential distortion of the relative ordering of events by the address tracing activity, realistic interleaving of addresses generated by multiple processors, and I/O and storage problems associated with collecting traces for large parallel systems. The strengths and weaknesses of the parallel tracing approaches are described.
