This work is described in the SCIEurope web page. I am the principle investigator for the Computer Architecture Group effort to develop a SCI tracer/analyzer and associated simulation tools within this Esprit project. The SCIEurope Consortium has kindly agreed that the following deliverables may be published on the World Wide Web :

SCI Test Equipment Requirement Specification [TCD-CS-2000-33]

Prototype Tracer [TCD-CS-2000-34]

Prototype Trace Probe and Probe Adapter [TCD-CS-2000-32]

Prototype Tracer Software [TCD-CS-2000-28]

SCI Europe'99 paper on tracer/analyzer (15.5MB) low-res version (0.7MB) [TCD-CS-1999-43]
