Hi George, Errors like this usually indicate a bug in the PAPI event-table, which maps PAPI preset (abstract) events to native event names, graciously provided to us by libpfm. It sounds like this event table is pretty slim for this CPU.
Now, I'm assuming you have installed perfctr as your patch. Can you run the 'showevtinfo' from the libpfm/examples directory, papi_native_avail and also send us the /proc/cpuinfo? There could be some stuff missing on the LV cpus... Phil On Mar 17, 2009, at 6:05 AM, George Markomanolis wrote: > Dear all, > > First of all I should say that I am newbie to PAPI.
