PAPI_stop_counters –

Stop counting hardware events and reset values to zero.

Synopsis

Detailed Description

@par C Interface:

#include <papi.h> @n

int PAPI_stop_counters( long long *values, int array_len );

Parameters:

*values an array where to put the counter values
array_len the number of items in the *values array

Postcondition:

After this function is called, the values are reset to zero.

Return values:

PAPI_EINVAL One or more of the arguments is invalid.
PAPI_ENOTRUN The EventSet is not started yet.
PAPI_ENOEVST The EventSet has not been added yet.

The PAPI_stop_counters() function stops the counters and copies the counts into the *values array. The counters must have been started by a previous call to PAPI_start_counters().

int Events[2] = { PAPI_TOT_CYC, PAPI_TOT_INS };

long long values[2];

if ( PAPI_start_counters( Events, 2 ) != PAPI_OK )

 handle_error(1);

your_slow_code();

if ( PAPI_stop_counters( values, 2 ) != PAPI_OK )

 handle_error(1);
