- Update to PAPI v6.0
- Major Changes:
* Added the rocm component to support performance counters on AMD GPUs.
* Added the rocm_smi component; SMI is System Management Interface to
monitor power usage on AMD GPUs, which is also writeable by the user,
e.g. to reduce power consumption on non-critical operations.
* Added 'io' component to expose I/O statistics exported by the Linux
kernel (/proc/self/io).
* Added 'SDE' component, Software Defined Events, which allows HPC software
layers to expose internal performance-critical behavior via Software
Defined Events (SDEs) through the PAPI interface.
* Added 'SDE API' to register performance-critical events that originate
from HPC software layers, and which are recognized as 'PAPI counters'
and, thus, can be monitored with the standard PAPI interface.
* Added powercap_ppc component to support monitoring and capping of power
usage on IBM PowerPC architectures (Power9 and later) using the powercap
interface exposed through the Linux kernel.
* Added 'sensors_ppc' component to support monitoring of system metrics on
IBM PowerPC architectures (Power9 and later) using the opal/exports sysfs
interface.
* Retired infiniband_umad component, it is superseded by infiniband.
* Revived PAPI's 'high-level API' to make it more intuitive and effective
for novice users and quick event reporting.
* Added 'counter_analysis_toolkit' sub-directory (CAT): A tool to assist
with native performance counter disambiguation through micro-benchmarks,
which are used to probe different important aspects of modern CPUs, to
aid the classification of native performance events.
* Other Changes include:
* Standardized our environment variables and implemented a simplified,
unified approach for specifying libraries necessary for components, with
overrides possible for special circumstances. Eliminated component level
'configure' requirements.
* Corrected TLS issues (Thread Local Storage) and race conditions.
* Several bug fixes, documentation fixes and enhancements, improvements to
README files for user instruction and code comments.
