Measurement tools

Hardware Performance Counter Measurement Tools

Perf: The main interface in the Linux kernel and a corresponding user-space tool to measure hardware counters
PAPI (Performance-API): A generic API for applications to measure different aspects of the system. For hardware performance counters it uses the perf backend for measurements. Other plugins for GPU and other components exist
PCM (Performance Counter Monitor): A higher level tool and API that provides common metrics like memory bandwidth and NUMA traffic. The API also provides access to any hardware counter event
PMU-Tools: A set of Python scripts that use the perf backend
LIKWID: Command line applications and API to measure hardware events which can use perf as backend but also provides other backends to be independent of the kernel version

Vampir: A scalable framework for performance analysis using PAPI as backend
TAU: Utilities to sample or instrument code for hardware counters and other metrics
HPCToolkit:
Inter VTune: A performance profiling tool to analyse algorithms and hardware usage for serial and parallel applications
