Abstract: The Tremendous storage space required for a useful data base of traces has driven a search for trace compaction techniques. In this paper we present an information-lossless trace compression scheme that can reduce both storage space and access time by an order of magniture or more, compared to ASCII-format traces, without discarding either references to or inter-reference timeing from the original trace.
This techniqute has been selected as the standard trace format for an extensive new trace base that will be made accessible to the international research and teaching community.
