ABSTRACT:
Methods and systems for replaying arbitrary system executions are disclosed. A system includes a storage element, a memory hierarchy and a processor. The memory hierarchy is coupled to the storage element. The processor is coupled to the memory hierarchy. The processor executes instructions from the memory hierarchy. A replay handler is loaded into the memory hierarchy. The replay handler is executed for replaying at least one execution. In another embodiment, a method for replaying executions is disclosed. Normal execution of a processor is interrupted. A replay/restart kernel is loaded. At least one execution is replayed. Normal execution of the processor is resumed.
