Hello, I have finally released version 0.3 of David's q-tools monitoring tool for Linux/ia64. New features: - support for Dual-Core Itanium 2 (Montecito) processor This tool works only on Itanium 2 and follow-on processor. It does not work on the first generation Itanium (Merced) processor. Requirements: - you need libpfm-3.2-060512 or newer to compile. On Debian you need to grab libpfm3 from unstable. Otherwise, you can get a copy at: http://perfmon2.sf.net - to run on Montecito, you need Montecito support in the kernel. The mainline kernel, 2.6.16 and higher, has the required support. SLES10 is known to have support. As for RHEL4, I think you would need U5 (to be verified). You can check whether you have support by looking at /proc/perfmon and the PMU model line. If it does not say Montecito, this will not work. - On non-Montecito, the tool works all kernel 2.6.5 or higher. - this version works also with perfmon v2.2 (aka new code base) for all Itanium processors, including Montecito. As this point, v2.2 requires a kernel patch which you can get at the web site mentioned above. You can grab the latest version of q-tools at: ftp://ftp.hpl.hp.com/pub/linux-ia64/q-tools-0.3.tar.gz MD5SUM: 3f9e5230fe258c2baa288d9c70fc73b2 Enjoy, -- -Stephane - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
