Counter multi-mode

Edit online

Counter multi-mode is similar to multiplexing mode. The counting mode in multiplexing mode is common to all the event sets.

The multi-mode allows you to associate a counting mode with each event set, but as the counting mode differs for an event set to another one, the results of the counting cannot be normalized on the complete measurement interval.

Several basic pmapi calls have the following multi-mode variations indicated by the _mm suffix:

pm_set_program_mm: Sets the counting configuration. It differs from the pm_set_program_mx function in that it accepts a set of groups and associated counting mode to be counted.
pm_get_program_mm: Retrieves the current Performance Monitor settings. It differs from the pm_get_program_mx function in that it accepts a set of groups and associated counting mode.
