[PerfSuite-users] Solicitation for additional metrics

[Rick K. <rk...@nc...>]

Greetings,

I have been adding some additional metrics to the default set of metrics 
calculated by the psprocess command when doing aggregate counting.  These 
metrics are processed on the fly from an XML database that psprocess reads 
at runtime.  The database used is located after installation in the 
directory:

PREFIX/share/perfsuite/xml/pshwpc

There are two variants: PAPI_metrics.xml and perfmon_metrics.xml.  The one 
used depends whether you are using PAPI or perfmon for any particular run.

The set of metrics that exist to date are just those that were thought to 
be a decent set, but could be extended.  Users can add their own custom 
metrics contained in a separate XML document (the "-m" option to 
psprocess), but that is localized.

So this email is to let you know that if there are metrics that you wish 
were presented but are not (and you know the definition of such a metric), 
please feel free to send an email, and if the metric seems useful, I'll be 
happy to add to the default set of metrics for the next release of 
PerfSuite.

Thanks,
Rick
