PAPI_add_remove_events.c

Go to the documentation of this file.

/******************************************************************************
 * This is a simple low level function demonstration on using PAPI_add_events *
 * to add an array of events to a created eventset, we are going to use these *
 * events to monitor a set of instructions, start the counters, read the      *
 * counters and then cleanup the eventset when done. In this example we use   *
 * the presets PAPI_TOT_INS and PAPI_TOT_CYC. PAPI_add_events,PAPI_start,     *
 * PAPI_stop, PAPI_clean_eventset, PAPI_destroy_eventset and                  *
 * PAPI_create_eventset all return PAPI_OK(which is 0) when succesful.        *
