SPROF for AMD Athlon! 2 out of 4 performance counters are supported.

SPROF for AMD Athlon

As many modern processors the AMD Athlon has some integrated performance counters to monitor events like cache misses, TLB misses, instruction fetches, clock cycles, ... In contrast to the Pentium III it has even 4 instead of 2 such counters. This allows to monitor 4 events simultaneously, without the need of sampling. But the SPROF library currently supports 2 counters, otherwise the library interface has to be extended.

You may find the Athlon library in the Download area. Look for SPROF update dated 20.01.2001.
