Abstract
This work explores how improved workload characterization can be used for a better selection of representative workloads within the computer system and processor design process. We find that metrics easily available in modern computer systems provide sufficient distinctive capability for workload selection, thus avoiding the need to characterize a large number of workloads in simulation.
