Installation
Prerequisites:
- You must have
likwidinstalled (see the build & install instructions). - You must be running Linux. (LIKWID doesn't support macOS or Windows.)
LIKWID.jl is a registered Julia package. Hence, you can simply add it to your Julia environment with the command
] add LIKWID
Documentation
Please check out the documentation to learn how to use LIKWID.jl.
Example: Performance Monitoring
using LIKWID
N = 10_000
a = 3.141
x = rand(N)
y = rand(N)
z = zeros(N)
function daxpy!(z, a, x, y)
z .= a .* x .+ y
end
daxpy!(z, a, x, y); # warmup
metrics, events = @perfmon "FLOPS_DP" daxpy!(z, a, x, y); # double-precision floating point ops.
Output:
Group: FLOPS_DP
