PapiEX - PAPI Execute: Command Line PAPI Measurement Tool
PapiEx is a PAPI-based program for measuring hardware performance events of an application using the command-line. It supports both PAPI preset events and native events. It supports multiple threads of execution as well, including pthreads and OpenMP threads. For MPI programs, PapiEx can gather statistics across tasks. PapiEx also measures the total time spent in I/O and MPI calls.
For PapiEx usage information, please consult the PapiEx documentation below.
