1. A system for designing a computer system having a processor and a memory hierarchy, comprising:

  • means for generating an event trace of an application program for the computer system, the event trace indicating a sequence of control flow events in the application program that are independent of a design of the processor;

    means for generating an executable file for the application program such that the executable file includes a set of memory addresses that are adapted to the design of the processor;

    trace generator means for generating an address trace in response to the executable file and the event trace such that the address trace includes a sequence of the memory addresses from the executable file that correspond to the sequence of control flow events specified in the event trace;

    component simulator means for generating a set of performance statistics for a component of the memory hierarchy in response to the address trace and a description of the component.
