Accessing counters from another thread

[pmoret]

Hi,

I'm running PAPI under linux with perfctr and I'm wondering if it possible to access the counters of a thread from another thread in the same process ?
Thanks.

Yes. We can surely access counters from another thread. you must use PAPI_attach to attach an event set to the thread.

Good luck!
