BugNet: Recording Application-Level Execution for Deterministic Replay Debugging
Satish Narayanasamy, Gilles Pokam, Brad Calder · IEEE Micro · 2006
With software's increasing complexity, providing efficient hardware support for software debugging is critical. Hardware support is necessary to observe and capture, with little or no overhead, the exact execution of a program. Providing this ability to developers will allow them to deterministically replay and debug an application to pin-point the root cause of a bug.
