Performance monitoring hardware is available on most modern microprocessors in the form of hardware counters and other registers that record data about processor events. This hardware may be used in counting mode, in which aggregate events counts are accumulated, and/or in sampling mode, in which time-based or event-based sampling is used to collect pro ling data. This paper discusses uses of t...

This report examines performance of four models with two compilers on the Intel Pentium 4 Xeon processor using the PAPI performance event library to collect performance counter values. The intent is to identify performance metrics that indicate where performance inhibiting factors occur when the codes execute. Results for operations, instructions, cycles, cache, table lookaside buffer misses, b...
