PAPI_accum(3)

NAME
PAPI_accum -

Accumulate and reset counters in an EventSet.

SYNOPSIS

Detailed Description

C Interface:
    #include <papi.h>
     int PAPI_accum( int EventSet, long_long * values );

These calls assume an initialized PAPI library and a properly added event set. PAPI_accum adds the counters of the indicated event set into the array values. The counters are zeroed and continue counting after the operation. Note the differences between PAPI_read and PAPI_accum, specifically that PAPI_accum resets the values array to zero.

Parameters:
    EventSet an integer handle for a PAPI Event Set as created by PAPI_create_eventset
    *values an array to hold the counter values of the counting events

Return values:
    PAPI_EINVAL One or more of the arguments is invalid.
    PAPI_ESYS A system or C library call failed inside PAPI, see the errno variable.
    PAPI_ENOEVST The event set specified does not exist.

Examples:

        do_100events( );
        if ( PAPI_read( EventSet, values) != PAPI_OK )
        handle_error( 1 );
        // values[0] now equals 100
        do_100events( );
        if (PAPI_accum( EventSet, values ) != PAPI_OK )
        handle_error( 1 );
        // values[0] now equals 200
        values[0] = -100;
        do_100events( );
        if (PAPI_accum( EventSet, values ) != PAPI_OK )
        handle_error( 1 );
        // values[0] now equals 0
