        // Convert to integer
        if ( PAPI_event_name_to_code( 'PAPI_TOT_INS', &EventCode ) != PAPI_OK )
        handle_error( 1 );
        // Create the EventSet
        if ( PAPI_create_eventset( &EventSet ) != PAPI_OK )
        handle_error( 1 );
        // Add Total Instructions Executed to our EventSet
        if ( PAPI_add_event( EventSet, EventCode ) != PAPI_OK )
        handle_error( 1 );
