Description :
The Performance API (PAPI) project specifies a standard application programming
interface (API) for accessing hardware performance counters available on most
modern microprocessors. These counters exist as a small set of registers that
count Events, occurrences of specific signals related to the processor\'s
function. Monitoring these events facilitates correlation between the structure
of source/object code and the efficiency of the mapping of that code to the
underlying architecture. This correlation has a variety of uses in performance
analysis including hand tuning, compiler optimization, debugging, benchmarking,
monitoring and performance modeling. In addition, it is hoped that this
information will prove useful in the development of new compilation technology
as well as in steering architectural development towards alleviating commonly
occurring bottlenecks in high performance computing.
