New Implementations:

* libmsr component: Using LLNL\'s libmsr library to access Intel
RAPL (Running Average Power Limit) library adds power capping
abilities to PAPI.

* CUDA PC sampling: A new standalone CUDA sampling tool
(papi_cuda_sampling) has been added to the CUDA component
(components/cuda/sampling/) and can be used as a preloader to
perform PC sampling on Nvidia GPUs which support the CUPTI
sampling interface (e.g. Maxwell).

* ARM Cortex A53 support: Event definitions added.
New Component:

* Powercap component: PAPI now supports the Linux Power Capping
Framework which exposes power capping devices and power measurement
to user space via a sysfs virtual file system interface.
Enhancements:

* Added Haswell-EP uncore support

* Initial Broadwell, Skylake support

* Added a general CUDA example (components/cuda/test) that uses
LD_PRELOAD to attach to a running CUcontext.

* Added \"-check\" flag to papi_avail and papi_native_avail to
test counter availability/validity.

* Add support for multiple flavors of POWER8 processors.

* Force all processors to check event schedulability by checking that
PAPI can successfully read the counters.

* Support for Intel Broadwell-EP, Skylake, Goldmont, Haswell-EP
inherited from libpfm4.

* Shared memory object (.so) naming is made more limited so that minor
updates do not break ABI compatibility.

* Have Fortran test support code report errors more clearly.

* Cleanup output from libmsr component.

* PAPI internal functions were marked as static to avoid exposing them
externally.

* Multiple component were fixed to make internal functions static
where possible, to avoid exposing the functions as externally
accessible entry points.

Mon Apr 23 14:00:00 2012 pthAATTsuse.de
- Update to 4.4.0:
New Platforms:
- -------------
Added PAPI support for Blue Gene/Q.
Bug Fixes:
- ---------

* Fix buffer overrun in lmsensors component

* libpfm4: Update to current git libpfm4 snapshot

* Fix broken Pentium 4 Prescott support we were missing the netburst_p
declaration in papi_events.csv

* Fix various locking issues in the threaded code.

* Fix multiplexing of large eventsets on perf_events systems.
This presented when using more than 31 multiplexed events on perf_event
- Add a devel-static package that contains the static libraries.
- For other changes since 4.2.1 see RELEASENOTES.txt in the packages
documentation.

Wed Feb 22 13:00:00 2012 pthAATTsuse.de
- Update to 4.2.1:
Bug Fixes:
- ---------

* multiplexing math errors were fixed in perf_events.c

* more multiplexing read path errors were identified and fixed

* Fix SMP ARM issues reported by Harald Servat.

* src/papi_events.csv: Update the coreduo (not core2) events. Most
notably the FP events were wrong.

* Modify Intel Sandybridge PAPI_FP_OPS and PAPI_FP_INS events to
not count x87 fp instructions. The problem is that the current
predefines were made by adding 5 events. With the NMI watchdog
stealing an event and/or hyperthreading reducing the number of
available counters by half, we just couldn\'t fit.
This now raises the potential for people using x87-compiled
floating point on Sandybridge and getting 0 FP_OPS. This is only
likely if running a 32-bit kernel and
*not
* compiling your code
with -msse.
A long-term solution might be trying to find a better set of FP
predefines for sandybridge.

* Apply patch suggested by Will Cohen to check for system return
values.

* Patch to cleanup dependencies, allowing for parallel makes.

* Fix two race conditions that are probably the cause of the
pthrtough double-free error.
When freeing a thread, we remove and free all eventsets belonging
to that thread. This could race with the thread itself removing
the evenset, causing some ESI fields to be freed twice.
The problem was found by using the Valgrind 3.8 Helgrind tool
valgrind --tool=helgrind --free-is-write=yes ctests/pthrtough
In order for Helgrind to work, I had to temporarily modify PAPI
to use POSIX pthread mutexes for locking.
Enhancements:
- ------------

* general doxygen cleanups

* cleanup output of overflow_allcounters for clarity in debugging

* updates to most recent (as of Feb 1) libpfm4

* remove now-opaque event codes from papi_native_avail
and papi_xml_event_info

* Update the component initialization code so that it can handle a
PAPI ERROR return gracefully. Previously there was no way to
indicate initialization failure besides just setting
num_native_events to 0.
New Platforms:
- ------------

* Support for AMD Family 11.

* Support for AMD Family 12.
Deprecated Platforms:
- --------------------

* remove obsolete ACPI component
New / Improved Components:
- --------------

* PAPI CUDA component updated for CUDA / CUPTI 4.1.

* SetCudaDevice() now works with the latest CUDA 4.1 version.

* Auto-detection of CUDA version for backward compatibility.

* PAPI_read() now accumulates event values. This fixes a bug
in earlier versions.

* extensive updates and cleanups to the example and coretemp components.

* significant updates of lustre, and mx components

* The linux net component underwent extensive updates and cleanups.
In particular, it nows dynamically detects the network
interface names [1] and export 16 counters for each interface
(see also src/components/net/{CHANGES,README}).
Experimental:
- ------------

* a new vmware component has been added to report a variety of soft events
when running as a guest in a VMWare environment
- Add upstream patch for libpfm4 to fix signed/unsigned issues.

Tue Jun 22 14:00:00 2010 alexandreAATTexatati.com.br
- Update to 4.0.1:
- configure was mis-identifying some Pentium 4 processors
- the ctests/shlib test now tests against the shared math library, libm.so,
instead of libpapi.so, which works more predictably with library renaming.
- multiplexing was silently returning without setting multiplex TRUE in
cases where no event had been assigned to an eventset. An event must be
added to an eventset or PAPI_assign_eventset_component() must be called
before multiplexing can be enabled. This silent error has been removed.
- the perfmon and perf_events counter interfaces were not properly handling
event unit masks. This has been fixed.
- PAPI_name_to_code() was not exiting properly in certain circumstances,
failing on events where there should have been a match. This is corrected.
- a serious but insidious bug in the overflow logic was corrected. This bug
would only show up when PAPI_overflow was called between calls to
PAPI_add_event. Overflow would only be set for the last call of
PAPI_overflow. This has been corrected.
- IBM Blue Gene P systems were corrupting stack frames and crashing when the
papi_get_event_info call was executed. This has been fixed.
- The PAPI cycles event was not working for IBM Blue Gene P. This is fixed.
papi_native_avail was exiting improperly when using the -e option.
This caused problems with batch execution systems (like Blue Gene P).
This has been fixed.
- a significant number of memory leaks have been purged.
- compiler warning flags have been tightened and a range of warnings have
been eliminated.
- removed implicit type conversions in prototypes.
- the utils/papi_version utility now reports four digits where the last digit
matches the patch number.
- Pentium II and Athlon now use libpfm for event decoding like all other x86
platforms.
- Doxygen documentation has been added to the API and components.
- Component compilation has been completely restructured. See
/papi/src/components/README for details.
- PAPI can now be compiled with a no-cpu-counters option
- the ultrasparc architecture has been resurrected
- freebsd support was migrated from PAPI 3.7
- Intel Nehalem EX and Westmere support has been added
- IBM BG/L has been deprecated.
- POWER 3 and POWER4 have been deprecate
- Infiniband: Experimental
- Lustre: Experimental
- example: provides simple test case and template code.

Mon Jun 14 14:00:00 2010 alexandreAATTexatati.com.br
- Add Upstream patch3:

* the utils/papi_version utility reports PAPI 4.0.0.3, where the last
digit matches the patch number.

* the ultrasparc architecture has been resurrected and supported in this
patch.

* IBM Blue Gene P systems were corrupting stack frames and crashing when
the papi_get_event_info call was executed. This has been fixed.

* papi_native_avail was exiting improperly when using the -e option.
This caused problems with batch execution systems (like Blue Gene P).
This has been fixed.
- Spec file cleaned with spec-cleaner.

last digit matches the patch number.

* the papi.spec file has a correction for a minor typo in the
ExcludeArch line.

* a serious but insidious bug in the overflow logic was corrected. This
bug would only show up when PAPI_overflow was called between calls to
PAPI_add_event. Overflow would only be set for the last call of
PAPI_overflow. This has been corrected.

* configure was mis-identifying some Pentium 4 processors; this has been
corrected.

* the ctests/shlib test now tests against the shared math library,
libm.so, instead of libpapi.so

* the PAPI_set_multiplex() call was silently returning without setting
