Using Intel's PIN tool to count the number of cache hits/misses in a program

I've been trying to write a pintool to instrument cache hits and misses in a given program. I found that there are calls such as INS_IsMemoryRead/Write to determine if the instruction is a LD/ST. Is there a way to determine if the instruction had…

Getting physical address in pin tool

I'm using pin instrumentation tool to get memory traces. By my implementation result, I've found the traces indicate virtual address, not physical address. Is there any way to get physical address trace in Pin tool? Help!

Force memory allocation always to the same virtual address

I'm experimenting with Pin, an instrumentation tool, which I use to compute some statistics based on memory address of my variables. I want to re-run my program with the information gathered by my instrumentation tool, but for that it's crucial that…

Major Perf and PIN profiling discrepancies

To analyze certain attributes of execution times, I was going to use both Perf and PIN in separate executions of a program to get all of my information. PIN would give me instruction mixes, and Perf would give me hardware performance on those…

Pin Binary instrumentation: How to precisely identify a function name.

Anyone who's used PIN? How would you identify a function exactly (in presence of method overloading)? I can see PIN provides RTN_Name() function, which would return the function name, but surely that's no enough… so what else would you use? Would…

Object code relocation and Intel Pin interaction

I am working on a multiprocessor architectural simulator that uses Intel Pin to instrument C++ executable binaries and report interesting events (e.g., some function calls, thread create/finish, etc.). Basically, I build an instruction-decode cache…

Does Intel PIN support tracing only JIT code in .NET executables?

I'm trying to trace .NET application with the latest Intel PIN Tool (3.19), but it doesn't work as expected. It seems pin tool doesn't even load the profiling library (checked loaded modules). I was looking for strings "INTEL_JIT_PROFILER32" inside…
