If you are interested in the Trace Analyzer, if you need support with the setup of DRAMSys in a virtual platform of your company, or if you require custom modifications of the simulator please contact [Matthias Jung](mailto:matthias.jung@iese.fraunhofer.de).
A basic version of Trace Analyzer is included in the open source release of DRAMSys.
However, the full version of the Trace Analyzer includes many additional analysis features:
- Detailed transaction-level latency analysis
- Power, bandwidth, and buffer utilization analysis over simulation time intervals
- Timing dependency analysis at the DRAM command level
- Calculation of numerous predefined and user-defined metrics
- VCD export of generated trace

### Dependencies
DRAMSys requires a **C++17** compiler. The build process is based on **CMake** (minimum version **3.24**). Furthermore, the simulator is based on **SystemC**. SystemC is included with FetchContent and will be build automatically with the project. If you want to use a preinstalled SystemC version, export the environment variable `SYSTEMC_HOME` (SystemC installation directory) and set the CMake option `DRAMSYS_USE_EXTERNAL_SYSTEMC`. Also make sure that the SystemC library was built with the same C++ version.
