Performance Counters

Performance counters allow for the benchmarking of HPX, the C++-based runtime system by which ParalleX is implemented. They function as an internal diagnostic tool in the development of HPX source code, because they expose the quantitative behavior of the system during or after execution of user applications. Performance counters are written into HPX runtime source code, and any time-dependent data collected during execution of a user application is done using an HPX application titled “Heartbeat”
