[Valgrind-developers] university course project report

[Nuno L. <nun...@is...>]

Hi,

As you may know, last semester we worked on an university course project.
The main objective was to learn about VMs, and in particular about dynamic
binary translation. We chose to implement a few optimizations in Valgrind's
VEX engine.

We have published a technical report that describes the optimizations that
we have implemented and their results. It can be found at:
http://www.inesc-id.pt/ficheiros/publicacoes/4867.pdf

Attached you can find the final version of our patches (all described in the
document mentioned above), as well as the raw test results. We will provide
support and answer any question related with our patches.
While this e-mail ends officially our work on Valgrind, we hope to
contribute more patches for performance improvement in the future.

Finally we would like to thank everybody that made this work possible. A
detailed acknowledgements section is also included in the document mentioned
above.

Regards,
Nuno, Felipe & Renato
