Generate memory access traces?

[hkarl]

Hi,

it might be interesting to use Ripes to generate memory access traces for concrete programs. It looks like all the necessary infrastructure to do so is in place; all that is needed would be a new CLI switch with a file name to which to write assembly instructions with content of corresponding registers / addresses actually used by a program.

Then, these traces could be useful to drive, e.g., simulations of different caching algorithms, virtual memory schemes, ...

It might be a considerable improvement and small overheads.

Best,
HK

I like the idea! PRs are always welcome 🚀 sounds like a good first project, as well, to get into the codebase.
