The product of: {exotic PMU modes} * {creative performance measurement ideas} will produce a large number of candidates for these special counters (at least on ia64 ... which has a large number of exotic PMU options). I don't think that I'm qualified to judge which of them are "useful enough" to warrant a special counter type. -Tony ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ perfmon2-devel mailing list perfmon2-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/perfmon2-devel
