Only measure necessary counters in Marker API #84

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Problem:

At the moment the Marker API measures all Counters, because it does not know 
which counters are part of the group. While this is OK for a small number of 
overall counters it adds a lot of overhead on architectures with many counters 
(as Intel EX type Xeons or SandyBridge)

Solution:

Implement a solution so that the Marker API only measures counters which are 
part of the current group.

This is best done using a environment variable. The marker API later checks for 
bits to only read out needed counters.
