Slow down / pause is something that's planned. Rewind is difficult since this would require actually logging the trace data (currently it's transient), which would take up a huge amount of space - though this may be useful for short-lived programs. On Thu, Apr 11, 2013 at 5:49 AM, Thomas Rast

For logging, perhaps a record button that would record up to some fixed cache size and then auto-pause the program. To continue, the cache would need to be cleared. Data mining the trace is a great idea, a simple use case I was considering was to detect data stride / structure size to better
