DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
-----------
|
2010-01-13 15:22:18 +00:00
|
|
|
Performance counters for Linux are a new kernel-based subsystem
|
2009-05-30 10:38:51 +00:00
|
|
|
that provide a framework for all things performance analysis. It
|
|
|
|
covers hardware level (CPU/PMU, Performance Monitoring Unit) features
|
|
|
|
and software features (software counters, tracepoints) as well.
