Do we have to do tracing in a real system when we try to analyze a 10,000 GPUs training system?

Description

Accoring to the Astra-sim 2.0 paper, simulates based on Chakra trace, to "decouple parallelization strategies from the ASTRAsim
implementation" . Does that mean we have to trace a real 10,000 GPUs AI training system before we can do simulation and analysis of the system in that scale?

Thanks

Research direction

Start with the Astra-sim 2.0 paper and the Chakra trace workflow referenced in the issue. Determine whether simulation at 10,000 GPUs requires a trace from a real system, then document the supported inputs and the conditions for analyzing a system at that scale.
