papi-wrap now public

I took some time on my last day of vacation to finish the refactorings I wanted to do on the PAPI wrapper that I mentioned in a previous post. Although I am sure that there is lots of things to clean up in this rather small code base, I made it publicly available!

It was used to generate the measurement results in my paper about the influence of measurement infrastructures, available in the ACM digital library.

The library was intended as an easy-to-use PAPI interface for C++ codes. It can be used as a library to be integrated in your code or it can be used as an external measurement routine using libmonitor.  I may continue to work on this library in my free time as I do have some more ideas and want to integrate two features. One, implement a more structured way to output the measurement results. Two, have it not only count PAPI events, but also have it provide simple timer mechanisms.

If you are interested in this project, you can go to the papi-wrap on my github and download the source, build it and play around with it.
