This paper explores the current state of performance monitoring on RISC-V based high-performance computing systems. We analyse hardware counters support across several commercial and experimental RISC-V platforms, highlighting the challenges and advancements in utilising tools like perf and PAPI. We propose modifications to the Linux kernel to enable user-level access to hardware counters and evaluate the overhead of different instrumentation methods compared to x86. It is a work-in-progress contribution that aims to enhance performance analysis capabilities within the growing RISC-V ecosystem for HPC.

摘要

This paper explores the current state of performance monitoring on RISC-V based high-performance computing systems. We analyse hardware counters support across several commercial and experimental RISC-V platforms, highlighting the challenges and advancements in utilising tools like perf and PAPI. We propose modifications to the Linux kernel to enable user-level access to hardware counters and evaluate the overhead of different instrumentation methods compared to x86. It is a work-in-progress contribution that aims to enhance performance analysis capabilities within the growing RISC-V ecosystem for HPC.
