Bruno, have you tried or know anything about the ptlsim x86 cycle accurate simulator?
It might be a valuable tool to understand the performance of specific x86 code sequences.
Are there other similar tools? Ptlsim does not seem to be in active development (last commit in 2009). But I did get it to work... but I don't know how to analyze the results!
Is anyone interested in getting it to work, and to understand the output of ptlstats (the program that analyses the statistics gathered during execution)?
Bruno, perhaps this could be integrated to your profiling work.
