Performance +counters are CPU hardware registers that count hardware events such as +instructions executed, cache-misses suffered, or branches mispredicted. They +form a basis for profiling applications to trace dynamic control flow and +identify hotspots. + +Please note that this SBo doesn't have any sources in the DOWNLOAD +setting, as the sources are already part of a full slackware install. + +Optional dependencies: audit, numactl +Another optional dependency is libunwind, but it's unsupported for now +since it requires elfutils which we don't have yet on SBO. |
