 Hardware Performance Monitoring Counters

 6:30pm, Suspenders Restaurant
 http://www.suspendersbar.com/location.php

 Many modern CPUs provide on chip counters for performance events such as 
 retiring instructions and cache misses. The hwpmc driver and libraries 
 in FreeBSD give systems administrators and programmers access to APIs 
 which make it possible to measure performance without modifying source 
 code and with minimal intrusion into application execution. This talk 
 will be a brief introduction to HWPMC, and how to use it.

 George Neville-Neil is the co-author with Kirk McKusick of The Design 
 and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System. He works on 
 networking an operating systems for fun and profit.
