performance of cycle-accurate simulators in terms of accuracy, I am not
considering currently.
Among the real hardware, X86 is a favorable choice due to wide
availability for me
to experiment with different configurations. However, its CISCity

Is it possible to choose a small subset of X86 ISA, without scary addressing
modes and emitting only those instructions from LLVM. Will generally available
hardware profiling tools work fine in such a case. Is there any info
