[PCM] Processor Counter Monitor replaces Intel Performance Counter Monitor

[Thomas_W_Intel]

Intel Performance Counter Monitor v2.11.1 will be the last version and there won't be any new releases. Therefore, the download package has just been removed from the web page.

Instead, the authors have started contributing to the fork Processor Counter Monitor, which is hosted on.github. The changes that have already been submitted include:

• support for processors for processors formerly code-named Apollo Lake
• bug fixes

Hi,

I installed PCM on my linux host and I would like to monitor my application, but I don't know the correct syntax for this. Can you help me?

The command for I to compile my application is:

./omp/lud_omp -n 4 -i /home/openMP/Aplicaçoes/dwarf/rodinia_2.3/data/lud/2048.dat

How to monitor this with ./pcm-power.x for example?

[Thomas_W_Intel]

pcm-power.c -h

prints you a help message of its usage. You can take a measure of a progam run by providg the program name as a parameter to pcm-power.x separated by two dashes:

pcm-power.x -- ./omp/lud_omp -n 4 -i /home/openMP/Aplicaçoes/dwarf/rodinia_2.3/data/lud/2048.dat

Please note that pcm monitors the whole system. So, if some other program is generating load and consuming power, this will be included in the output.

I followed the GitHub link to your program, and saw ending with WIN. Does it mean the program works on Windows? 

Will your program work on Linux?

thanks

I'm trying to get the DRAM energy consumed by a specific function in a program. 

for that, I try to use the inbuilt functions defined in pcm-power.cpp But it didn't work.

compiling the program: g++ c_example.c -o matrix -lpthread -lpcm -ldl -std=c++11
