PAPI_set_granularity(3)

NAME
PAPI_set_granularity - Set the default counting granularity for eventsets bound to the cpu component.

SYNOPSIS

Detailed Description

C Prototype:
    #include <papi.h>
     int PAPI_set_granularity( int granularity );

Parameters
    -- granularity one of the following constants as defined in the papi.h header file
    •   PAPI_GRN_THR -- Count each individual thread
    •   PAPI_GRN_PROC -- Count each individual process
    •   PAPI_GRN_PROCG -- Count each individual process group
    •   PAPI_GRN_SYS -- Count the current CPU
    •   PAPI_GRN_SYS_CPU -- Count all CPUs individually
    •   PAPI_GRN_MIN -- The finest available granularity
    •   PAPI_GRN_MAX -- The coarsest available granularity

Return values
    PAPI_OK
    PAPI_EINVAL One or more of the arguments is invalid.

PAPI_set_granularity sets the default counting granularity for all new event sets created by PAPI_create_eventset. This call implicitly sets the granularity for the cpu component (component 0) and is included to preserve backward compatibility.
Example:
    int ret;
    // Initialize the library
    ret = PAPI_library_init(PAPI_VER_CURRENT);
    if (ret > 0 && ret != PAPI_VER_CURRENT) {
      fprintf(stderr,"PAPI library version mismatch!\n");
      exit(1);
    }
    if (ret < 0) handle_error(ret);
    // Set the default granularity for the cpu component
    ret = PAPI_set_granularity(PAPI_GRN_PROC);
    if (ret != PAPI_OK) handle_error(ret);
    ret = PAPI_create_eventset(&EventSet);
    if (ret != PAPI_OK) handle_error(ret);
