.SH NAME

PAPI_flips \- 

.PP

Simplified call to get Mflips/s (floating point instruction rate), real and processor time\&.

\fBC Interface: \fP

.PP

\fBParameters:\fP

.RS 4

\fI*rtime\fP total realtime since the first call 

.br

\fI*ptime\fP total process time since the first call 

.br

\fI*flpins\fP total floating point instructions since the first call 

.br

\fI*mflips\fP incremental (Mega) floating point instructions per seconds since the last call

.RE

.PP

\fBReturn values:\fP

.RS 4

\fIPAPI_EINVAL\fP The counters were already started by something other than \fBPAPI_flips()\fP\&. 

.br

\fIPAPI_ENOEVNT\fP The floating point instructions event does not exist\&. 

.br

\fIPAPI_ENOMEM\fP Insufficient memory to complete the operation\&.

.RE

.PP

The first call to \fBPAPI_flips()\fP will initialize the PAPI High Level interface, set up the counters to monitor the PAPI_FP_INS event and start the counters\&.

.PP

Subsequent calls will read the counters and return total real time, total process time, total floating point instructions since the start of the measurement and the Mflip/s rate since latest call to \fBPAPI_flips()\fP\&. A call to \fBPAPI_stop_counters()\fP will stop the counters from running and then calls such as \fBPAPI_start_counters()\fP or other rate calls can safely be used\&.

.PP

\fBPAPI_flips\fP returns information related to floating point instructions using the PAPI_FP_INS event\&. This is intended to measure instruction rate through the floating point pipe with no massaging\&.
