NAME

• PAPI_set_granularity - set the default counting granularity for eventsets bound to the cpu component
• PAPI_set_cmp_granularity - set the default counting granularity for eventsets bound to the specified component

Synopsis

C Interface

#include <papi.h>
int PAPI_set_granularity(int  granularity );
int PAPI_set_cmp_granularity(int  granularity, int  cidx  );

Fortran Interface

#include fpapi.h
PAPIF_set_granularity(C_INT  granularity,  C_INT  check )

Description

PAPI_set_granularity sets the default counting granularity for all new event sets created by PAPI_create_eventset (3). This call implicitly sets the granularity for the cpu component (component 0) and is included to preserve backward compatibility.

PAPI_set_cmp_granularity sets the default counting granularity for all new event sets, and requires an explicit component argument. Event sets that are already in existence are not affected. To change the granularity of an existing event set, please see the PAPI_set_opt (3) man page. The reader should note that the granularity of an event set affects only the mode in which the counter continues to run.

Arguments

cidx -- An integer identifier for a component. By convention, component 0 is always the cpu component. granularity -- one of the following constants as defined in the papi.h header file:

Errors

PAPI_EINVAL One or more of the arguments is invalid.

PAPI_ENOEVST The event set specified does not exist.

PAPI_ENOCMP The argument cidx is not a valid component.

PAPI_EISRUN The event set is currently counting events.

Examples

int retval;
/* Initialize the library */
retval = PAPI_library_init(PAPI_VER_CURRENT);
if (retval > 0 && retval != PAPI_VER_CURRENT) {
  fprintf(stderr,"PAPI library version mismatch!\n");
  exit(1); 
}
if (retval < 0)
  handle_error(retval);
/* Set the default granularity for the cpu component */
if ((retval = PAPI_set_cmp_granularity(PAPI_GRN_PROC,0)) != PAPI_OK)
  handle_error(retval);
if ((retval = PAPI_create_eventset(&EventSet)) != PAPI_OK)
  handle_error(retval);
