ATC
Address Trace Compression
Keywords: Compressing - Decompressing - Address traces
Functional Description
ATC is a utility and a C library for compressing/decompressing address traces. It implements a new lossless transformation, Bytesort, that exploits spatial locality in address traces. ATC leverages existing general-purpose compressors such as gzip and bzip2. ATC also provides a lossy compression mode that yields higher compression ratios while preserving certain important characteristics of the original trace.
