Hello, I'm working on the port of PAPI (Performance API) library to FreeBSD using Joseph Koshy's hwpmc / libpmc (see hwpmc(4) / pmc(3)). From the PAPI homepage: PAPI aims to provide the tool designer and application engineer with a consistent interface and methodology for use of the performance counter hardware found in most major microprocessors. PAPI enables software engineers to see, in near real time, the relation between software performance and processor events. I'm searching some testers for my first version of the port because I'm only able to test it on my laptop (FreeBSD 6.2 / Pentium M) and it would be great to test it in other kind of processors (now it's only supported on Pentium 2/3/4/Celeron AMD K7/8) before releasing it (and providing my patches to PAPI developers). Anyone interested on doing this test, please, send me an email and I'll reply you with some instructions to follow. Thank you very much. -- _________________________________________________________________ Empty your memory, with a free()... like a pointer!
