NAME
pmc.tsc -- measurements using the i386 timestamp counter LIBRARY
Performance Counters Library (libpmc, -lpmc) SYNOPSIS
#include <pmc.h> DESCRIPTION
In the i386 architecture, the timestamp counter is a monotonically non-decreasing counter that counts processor cycles. This counter may be selected specifying an event specifier ``tsc'' to pmc_allocate(3). The TSC is a read-only counter that may only be allo- cated in system-wide counting mode. The ``tsc'' event does not support further event qualifiers. Multiple processes are allowed to allocate the TSC. Once allocated, the TSC may be read using the pmc_read() function, or by using the RDTSC instruction. Event Name Aliases The alias ``cycles'' maps to the TSC. SEE ALSO
