NAME

SYNOPSIS

10       #include <papi.h>

DESCRIPTION

14       In addition to the predefined PAPI preset events, the PAPI library also
15       exposes a majority of the  events  native  to  each  platform.   Native
16       events  form  the basic building blocks for PAPI presets. They can also
17       be used directly to access functions specific to a given platform.
18
19       Since native events are by definition specific to  each  platform,  the
20       names  for these events are unique to each platform.  Native events for
21       a given platform can be discovered by combining the  PAPI_enum_event(3)
22       and PAPI_event_code_to_name(3) or PAPI_get_event_info(3) functions.

BUGS

26       Not every native event on every platform can be represented through the
27       native event interface. Occasionally, exotic but  valuable  events  are
28       not  represented.  There  is presently no method for representing these
29       events in a PAPI event set.
