PAPI
Abstract
PAPI is a cross-platform interface to the hardware counters available on most modern microprocessors. These counters exist as registers that count events, which are occurrences of specific signals and states related to the processor's function. Monitoring these events has a number of uses in application performance analysis, optimization, and benchmarking. PAPI consists of a standard set of routines for accessing the counters, as well as a standard set of performance metrics deemed most relevant for application performance evaluation.
