Yufeng Zhang · Computer Technology and Development · 2006
Itanium2 processors are providing hardware support in the form of performance registers that help to capture microarchitectural events that occur during the running of a program.In this paper,we introduce the method to develop the application performance analysis tool based on perfmon under Linux that can assemble various types of complex performance related data available from the performance registers and provide a high level summary of the data.
