papi_decode - provides availability and detail information for PAPI preset
events.
Synopsis¶
papi_decode [-ah]
Description¶
papi_decode is a PAPI utility program that converts the PAPI presets for the
existing library into a comma separated value format that can then be viewed
or modified in spreadsheet applications or text editors, and can be supplied
to PAPI_encode_events (3) as a way of adding or modifying event definitions
for specialized applications. The format for the csv output consists of a line
of field names, followed by a blank line, followed by one line of comma
separated values for each event contained in the preset table. A portion of
this output (for Pentium 4) is shown below:
* name,derived,postfix,short_descr,long_descr,note,[native,...]
* PAPI_L1_ICM,NOT_DERIVED,,"L1I cache misses","Level 1 instruction cache misses",,BPU_fetch_request_TCMISS
* PAPI_L2_TCM,NOT_DERIVED,,"L2 cache misses","Level 2 cache misses",,BSQ_cache_reference_RD_2ndL_MISS_WR_2ndL_MISS
* PAPI_TLB_DM,NOT_DERIVED,,"Data TLB misses","Data translation lookaside buffer misses",,page_walk_type_DTMISS
