[Description][1]:

> Motivation
>
> Hardware performance monitoring counters have recently received a lot of
> attention. They have been used by diverse communities to understand and improve
> the quality of  computing systems: for example, architects use them to extract
> application characteristics and propose new hardware mechanisms; compiler
> writers study how generated code behaves on particular hardware; software
> developers identify critical regions of their applications and evaluate design
> choices to select the best performing implementation. We propose that counters
> be used by all categories of users, in particular non-experts, and we advocate
> that a few simple metrics derived from these counters are relevant and useful.
> For example, a low IPC (number of executed instructions per cycle) indicates
> that the hardware is not performing at its best; a high cache miss ratio can
> suggest several causes, such as conflicts between processes in a multicore
> environment.
>
> Features
>
> *   No root privilege needed
> *   No patch to OS
> *   No module to load
> *   No need to instrument applications
> *   No need to even restart applications
> *   Any event supported by the hardware
>     *   some predefined: instructions, cycles, LLC misses (easy)
>     *   any hardware supported event (slightly harder)
> *   Live mode and batch mode
> *   Configure file to define counters and screens
> *   Pretty much like top
