Hi Victor, The TrafficGen module (in src/cpu/testers) supports trace replay. The trace format is the same as what the gem5 CommMonitor produces, but you can also create a custom trace from another simulator, RTL etc and feed to the TrafficGen.
Is this the kind of functionality you are looking for?

Can you please share your experience? Since Gem5 is a event-driven simulator, I have a particular interest to study the memory behavior (coherency protocol, hot spot contention) using trace data file. Is the idea feasibile? Please let me know your suggestions. Thank you in advance Victor -- IMPORTANT NOTICE: The contents of this email and any attachments are confidential and may also be privileged.
