ariel
The ariel library models a multicore CPU using a dynamic application trace. The CPU models memory accesses in detail and non-memory accesses as a single cycle operation. Instruction dependencies are not tracked. The ariel library divides the simulation into two parts: a frontend that provides a trace, and a CPU simulation model that consumes the trace and provides the modeling itself. The included frontend leverages Pin to dynamically trace a natively executing x86 application. This frontend supports threaded applications but not MPI applications. Ariel supports memory models that use the StandardMem interface.

Required dependencies
- Pin Required for the built-in Pintool tracer. Note that the ariel CPU model will build without Pin but it is required for the included frontend tracer.
Optional dependencies
- zlib Enables generating a compressed execution trace
