7       bound to the cpu component
8        PAPI_set_cmp_domain - set the default counting domain  for  new  event

DESCRIPTION

24       PAPI_set_domain sets the default counting domain for all new event sets
25       created by PAPI_create_eventset(3) in all threads. This call implicitly
26       sets  the domain for the cpu component (component 0) and is included to
27       preserve backward compatibility.
28
29       PAPI_set_cmp_domain sets the default counting domain for all new  event
30       sets  in  all  threads,  and  requires  an explicit component argument.
31       Event sets that are already in existence are not affected.   To  change
32       the domain of an existing event set, please see the PAPI_set_opt(3) man
33       page.The reader should note that the domain of  an  event  set  affects
34       only  the  mode in which the counter continues to run. Counts are still
35       aggregated for the current process, and not for any other processes  in
36       the  system.  Thus  when requesting PAPI_DOM_KERNEL, the user is asking
37       for events that occur on behalf of the process, inside the kernel.

ARGUMENTS

41       cidx -- An integer identifier for a component. By convention, component
42       0 is always the cpu component.
43
44       domain  --  one  of  the  following  constants as defined in the papi.h
