In this work, we define a mapping approach between the compiler intermediate representation and the binary control flow graph for the purpose of performance estimation in native simulation. Our approach handles aggressive compiler optimizations such as loop unrolling without having to introduce any modification to the compiler. Our mapping approach experimentally leads to a good accuracy (0.59% error) while keeping a 25x speedup for native simulation compared to instruction set simulation.
