Newsgroups: comp.parallel From: Bryan Hunt Subject: New trace database on-line! Organization: New Mexico State University Date: 27 Mar 1994 18:48:18 GMT New Mexico State University Trace Database Parallel Architecture Research Laboratory email: tracebase@nmsu.edu Welcome to TraceBase! This trace database (tracebase) has been developed to allow researchers around the world to access and share traces from various computer architectures. Access to tracebase is by anonymous ftp to: tracebase.nmsu.edu (128.123.9.44). This database has just come on-line, so please be patient while we get things smoothed out. Comments and suggestions are welcome via email to tracebase@nmsu.edu. The on-line traces will be found in /pub/tracebase* where * is 1-4. If a trace is not currently on-line, you may request that trace be put on-line by sending email to tracebase@nmsu.edu. Once the trace is on-line, you will receive an acknowledgement via email. You will then have a minimum of 24 hours to download the trace. After 24 hours, the trace may be deleted to make room for other requests. You will find names of the traces available, both on-line and off-line, in various README files. We currently have 8 GB of on-line storage, and 100 GB off-line. Only a fraction of this space has been used. We welcome you to upload any traces you have that we don't have. Please upload a short description of the trace including the name and version of the traced program, the program inputs, the architecture it was taken from, its format, and any other information to assist other researchers in using the trace. If you include your name and affiliation, we will also include them in the trace header information. If your traces are not in dinero or PDATS format, please upload source code that reads your format. You may put all uploads in /pub/incoming. We have allocated 200 MB for incoming traces. If your trace is larger, please send us email and we will make arangements for your trace. Please tell your colleagues about this exciting new resource! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bryan Hunt | Confidence: acme@nmsu.edu | That feeling you sometimes get Parallel Architecture Research Laboratory | before fully understanding the New Mexico State University | situation. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
