Query or list event sets

[dataking]

Hi,

I am profiling with PerfExpert (http://www.tacc.utexas.edu/perfexpert/) which uses HPCToolKit which in turn uses PAPI.

My benchmark code includes a startup phase which I would like to exclude from my measurements since it is very ineffective and hence dominates execution time.

I can't call PAPI_start/PAPI_stop to exclude the startup phases since it seems I can't query the currently active event set (unless I am missing something)?

Thoughts and suggestions on this are greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Per
