Reference

PAPI_set_granularity(3)

Set the default counting granularity for eventsets bound to the cpu component.

NAME

PAPI_set_granularity - Set the default counting granularity for eventsets bound to the cpu component.

SYNOPSIS

Detailed Description

C Prototype:

#include <papi.h>

int PAPI_set_granularity( int granularity );

Parameters

-- granularity one of the following constants as defined in the papi.h header file

•

PAPI_GRN_THR -- Count each individual thread

•

PAPI_GRN_PROC -- Count each individual process

•

PAPI_GRN_PROCG -- Count each individual process group

•

PAPI_GRN_SYS -- Count the current CPU

•

PAPI_GRN_SYS_CPU -- Count all CPUs individually

•

PAPI_GRN_MIN -- The finest available granularity

•

PAPI_GRN_MAX -- The coarsest available granularity

Return values

PAPI_OK
PAPI_EINVAL One or more of the arguments is invalid.

PAPI_set_granularity sets the default counting granularity for all new event sets created by PAPI_create_eventset. This call implicitly sets the granularity for the cpu component (component 0) and is included to preserve backward compatibility.

Example:

int ret;
// Initialize the library
ret = PAPI_library_init(PAPI_VER_CURRENT);
if (ret > 0 && ret != PAPI_VER_CURRENT) {
  fprintf(stderr,"PAPI library version mismatch!\n");
  exit(1); 
}
if (ret < 0) handle_error(ret);
// Set the default granularity for the cpu component
ret = PAPI_set_granularity(PAPI_GRN_PROC);
if (ret != PAPI_OK) handle_error(ret);
ret = PAPI_create_eventset(&EventSet);
if (ret != PAPI_OK) handle_error(ret);
