   I am teaching a computer architecture course, and I am using the
Hennessy/Patterson book.  In one of the labs I am preparing - using
the software that accompanies the book- I am trying to demonstrate how
program transformation affect the cache performance. I would like them
to write a program, crosscompile it for dlx, simulate it and feed its
address trace to the dinero cache simulator. On a first reading, it
seems to me that dlxsim does not (cannot?) generate an address trace
usable by dinero.  Is there way to make dlxsim do so? Or did somebody
modify it to make it generate the address trace?

Please email your answers and I'll summarize them to the net if there
is any interest.
