Kronos: A high precision virtual time system based on instruction counting
Full documentation can be found here.
New in version 1.3: An update involing instruction counting based on Intel-PIN-TOOL is included in version 1.3 See examples/example_app_vt_experiment.py file where app_vt_tracer binaries are started (instead of the the traditional tracer binaries). These app_vt_tracers rely on INTEL-PIN-TOOLs for instruction counting.

This is a prototype implementation with the primary goal of encouraging more research in the field of virtual time driven network emulation and simulation. It does not support all general requirements yet and may contain bugs. Contributions to fix any identified issues are welcome ! Please contact me at vig2208@gmail.com
