What is AFIK?
(AFAIK=as far as I know) I want to use oprofile, or if you give better advice.
And the os is linux.
You can use OProfile for your internal needs but it has GPL license so I'm not sure it can be a part of Harmony which uses much less restrictive Apache license. Let's get a break to look through the current state of performance monitoring libraries, their OS/CPU compatibilities and licenses. I haven`t decide how to use cache-miss information, if i hava a creative
idea, of course, i will use my own.
I think that the optimization algorithm must be selected first. You can collect cache miss information manually (using any tool you have) and feed the profile to a JIT. So PMU library just a tool and could be easily added/replaced, IMHO the goal is optimization algorithm. What research do you focus on? Dynamic Optimization? Have you any idea about
it?
Yes, DPGO is one of the subjects I'm really interested in. There are a lot of ideas of how to profile and how to use the information, but I'm afraid I have no time try them all alone. So I've said I'm interested to help you in your project, but not to lead it. -- Mikhail Fursov
