The DPMP project led to two contributions with transformative economic and societal benefits to the computer industry.
DPMP developed Sniper, which introduced a paradigm shift in microprocessor simulation technology by raising the level of abstraction to dramatically improve development time and simulation speed by more than 10x while maintaining high simulation accuracy. Sniper is widely used in academia (5000+ downloads and 800+ citations) and is used in industry by Intel. Recently added support for ARM opens up the avenue for future deployment in the mobile and embedded market in addition to the desktop and server markets.
DPMP also developed a datacenter monitoring solution to continuously monitor user experience (response time) and key business metrics (cost and revenue). Correlating user experience with business metrics facilitates capacity planning, business optimization, and automated anomaly detection and troubleshooting. This technology was commercialized through the start-up company, CoScale, which raised 5.5 million Euro of VC funding, grew to a high-tech company with 20 employees, had over 50 worldwide customers, and was acquired by New Relic in 2018.
