[PerfSuite-announce] PerfSuite 0.6.1b6 released

[<per...@li...>]

PerfSuite version 0.6.1 beta 6 is now available.

This release adds several new features, improvements, and bug fixes.

The most visible changes from the user's perspective include:

- psrun output XML documents are now created using the name of the
  program that was monitored instead of the prefix "psrun"

- Fortran support for PMPI-based hardware performance measurements of MPI
  programs without modifying your source code

- improved support for the SGI Altix platform by using the mmtimer 
  interface for wall-clock time measurement (enabled during package 
  configuration)

- improved support for generating VProf-compatible profiles with psprocess

- several changes in the default events used on Pentium 4 platforms
  as current available through PAPI 3

Additionally, this release restores compatibility with all versions of 
PAPI 3 beta available to date, including the current CVS version (changes 
in PAPI 3 since PerfSuite 0.6.1 beta 5 was released made them 
incompatible)

Please see the ChangeLog for details.
