Pin: building customized program analysis tools with dynamic instrumentation
- IN PLDI ’05: PROCEEDINGS OF THE 2005 ACM SIGPLAN CONFERENCE ON PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION
, 2005
"... Robust and powerful software instrumentation tools are essential for program analysis tasks such as profiling, performance evaluation, and bug detection. To meet this need, we have developed a new instrumentation system called Pin. Our goals are to provide easy-to-use, portable, transparent, and eff ..."

Valgrind: A framework for heavyweight dynamic binary instrumentation
- In Proceedings of the 2007 Programming Language Design and Implementation Conference
, 2007
"... Dynamic binary instrumentation (DBI) frameworks make it easy to build dynamic binary analysis (DBA) tools such as checkers and profilers. Much of the focus on DBI frameworks has been on performance; little attention has been paid to their capabilities. As a result, we believe the potential of DBI ha ..."

Javana: A System for Building Customized Java Program Analysis Tools
- OOPSLA'06
, 2006
"... Understanding the behavior of applications running on high-level language virtual machines, as is the case in Java, is non-trivial because of the tight entanglement at the lowest execution level between the application and the virtual machine. This paper proposes Javana, a system for building Java p ..."

Dynamic program analysis of microsoft windows applications
- In International Symposium on Performance Analysis of Software and Systems
, 2010
"... Abstract—Software instrumentation is a powerful and flexible technique for analyzing the dynamic behavior of programs. By inserting extra code in an application, it is possible to study the performance and correctness of programs and systems. Pin is a software system that performs run-time binary in ..."

instrumentation of unmodified applications. Pin provides an API for writing custom instrumentation, enabling its use in a wide variety of performance analysis tasks such as workload characterization, program tracing, cache modeling, and simulation. Most of the prior work on in-strumentation systems has focused
Abstract PinOS: A Programmable Framework for Whole-System Dynamic Instrumentation
"... PinOS is an extension of the Pin dynamic instrumentation framework for whole-system instrumentation, i.e., to instrument both kernel and user-level code. It achieves this by interposing between the subject system and hardware using virtualization techniques. Specifically, PinOS is built on top of th ..."

-level instrumentation, PinOS can be used to write system-wide instrumentation tools for tasks like program analysis and architectural studies. As of today, PinOS can boot Linux on IA-32 in uniprocessor mode, and can instrument complex applications such as database and web servers. Categories and Subject Descriptors D.2
Dimension: an instrumentation tool for virtual execution environments
- In Proc. VEE’06
, 2006
"... Translation-based virtual execution environments (VEEs) are becoming increasingly popular because of their usefulness. With dynamic translation, a program in a VEE has two binaries: an input source binary and a dynamically generated target binary. Program analysis is important for these binaries, an ..."

, and both the developers and users of VEEs need an instrumentation system to customize program analysis tools. However, existing instrumentation systems for use in VEEs have two drawbacks. First, they are tightly bound with a specific VEE and thus are difficult to reuse without a lot of effort. Second, most
