Re: [PerfSuite-users] Native Events supported in Perfsuite?

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

Chiaheng,

PerfSuite supports PAPI native events within its XML configuration 
files.  The difference between using PAPI presets and native events is 
that the XML attribute "type" should be set to "native", and the name of 
the event to be used should be given as the content of the element 
"ps_hwpc_event" rather than the value of the "name" attribute.

You can find an example of using native events in 
$PREFIX/share/perfsuite/xml/pshwpc/papi3_ipc_itanium2.xml, where PREFIX 
is the root of your PerfSuite installation.
