Xtrace: High-Fidelity GPU Intra-Kernel Tracing via Binary-Level Instruction Splicing

Modern GPU kernels fuse increasingly more work into a single kernel, and intra-kernel tracing has become the mainstream method to profile them. Tracing inserts probes into the kernel to record its runtime states, and the fidelity of the trace determines the efficiency of performance optimization. Unfortunately, existin...
