Dispersing proprietary applications as benchmarks through code mutation

Content Provider	ACM Digital Library
Author	Van Ertvelde, Luk Eeckhout, Lieven
Abstract	Industry vendors hesitate to disseminate proprietary applications to academia and third party vendors. By consequence, the benchmarking process is typically driven by standardized, open-source benchmarks which may be very different from and likely not representative of the real-life applications of interest. This paper proposes code mutation, a novel technique that mutates a proprietary application to complicate reverse engineering so that it can be distributed as a benchmark. The benchmark mutant then serves as a proxy for the proprietary application. The key idea in the proposed code mutation approach is to preserve the proprietary application's dynamic memory access and/or control flow behavior in the benchmark mutant while mutating the rest of the application code. To this end, we compute program slices for memory access operations and/or control flow operationstrimmed through constant value and branch profiles; and subsequently mutate the instructions not appearing in these slices through binary rewriting. Our experimental results using SPEC CPU2000 and MiBench benchmarks show that code mutation is a promising technique that mutates up to 90% of the static binary, up to 50% of the dynamically executed instructions, and up to 35% of the at run time exposed inter-operation data dependencies. The performance characteristics of the mutant are very similar to those of the proprietary application across a wide range of microarchitectures and hardware implementations.
