\page page_tutorial_cgo17 CGO 2017 Tutorial: Building Dynamic Tools with DynamoRIO on x86 and ARMv8

Sunday morning, February 5, 2017 at
the [2017 International Symposium on Code
Generation and Optimization](http://cgo.org/cgo2017/).

# Audience

Researchers and professionals interested in building dynamic program
analysis tools.

# Abstract

This tutorial will present the DynamoRIO tool platform and describe how
to use its API to build custom tools that utilize dynamic code
manipulation for instrumentation, profiling, analysis, optimization,
introspection, security, and more.  The DynamoRIO tool platform has been
used by many researchers to develop systems ranging from taint tracking
to prefetch optimization.  DynamoRIO is publicly available in open source
form and targets Windows, Linux, Mac, and Android on IA-32, AMD64, ARM,
and AArch64 platforms.


# Topics

The tutorial will cover the following topics:

-  DynamoRIO API: an overview of the full range of DynamoRIO's powerful
    API, which abstracts away the details of the underlying infrastructure
    and allows the tool builder to concentrate on analyzing or modifying
    the application's runtime code stream.  It includes both high-level
    features for quick prototyping and low-level features for full control
    over instrumentation performance.
-  DynamoRIO system overview: a brief description of how DynamoRIO works
    under the covers.
-  Description of tools provided with the DynamoRIO package, including
    the Dr. Memory memory debugging tool, the Dr. CacheSim memory tracing
    and cache simulation tool, the DrCov code coverage tool, the Dr. CPUSim
    legacy CPU tool, and the DrStrace Windows system call tracing tool.
-  Sample tool starting points for building new tools.
-  Advanced topics when building sophisticated tools.

# Slides

The slides are now available
in [PDF](https://github.com/DynamoRIO/dynamorio/releases/download/release_7_0_0_rc1/DynamoRIO-tutorial-feb2017.pdf), [PPSX](https://github.com/DynamoRIO/dynamorio/releases/download/release_7_0_0_rc1/DynamoRIO-tutorial-feb2017.ppsx),
and [PDF
with embedded fonts](https://github.com/DynamoRIO/dynamorio/releases/download/release_7_0_0_rc1/DynamoRIO-tutorial-feb2017-embedded-fonts.pdf) formats (the embedded font version contains some
artifacts from conversion from Powerpoint that are not present in the
non-embedded file).
