/**
 * The elastic trace is a type of probe listener and listens to probe points
 * in multiple stages of the O3CPU. The notify method is called on a probe
 * point typically when an instruction successfully progresses through that
 * stage.
 *
 * As different listener methods mapped to the different probe points execute,
 * relevant information about the instruction, e.g. timestamps and register
 * accesses, are captured and stored in temporary data structures. When the
 * instruction progresses through the commit stage, the timing as well as
 * dependency information about the instruction is finalised and encapsulated in
 * a struct called TraceInfo. TraceInfo objects are collected in a list instead
 * of writing them out to the trace file one a time. This is required as the
 * trace is processed in chunks to evaluate order dependencies and computational
 * delay in case an instruction does not have any register dependencies. By this
 * we achieve a simpler algorithm during replay because every record in the
 * trace can be hooked onto a record in its past. The trace is written out as
 * a protobuf format output file.
 *
 * The output trace can be read in and played back by the TraceCPU.
