2. PTLsim is very different from most cycle accurate simulators used in research applications. It runs directly on the same platform it is simulating (an x86-64 or x86 machine running Linux) and is able to switch in and out of full out of order simulation mode and native x86-64 mode at any time completely transparent to the running user code. This lets users quickly profile a small section of the user code without the overhead of emulating the uninteresting parts. PTLsim runs unmodified 32-bit x86 and 64-bit x86-64 applications without special compilers or toolchains.
