Welcome to Prism‘s Documentation!

Prism is a technology for building platform-agnostic workload analysis tools. Tools are built once and are able to run across multiple architectures and environments. Prism targets complex analyses that are latency-tolerant, in contrast to real-time analyses.

Prism aims to improve three main components of designing new analysis tools for research: 1) modularity, 2) design flexibility, and 3) productivity.

Features

  • Flexible application analysis
    • Use multiple frontends for capturing software workloads like Valgrind and DynamoRIO
    • Use custom C++14 libraries for analyzing event streams
  • Platform-independent events
    • Straight-forward and extensible format, simplifying analysis

Installation

See the Quickstart for information installation instructions.
