infiniband/  
Packit 577717
The PAPI infiniband component uses the sysfs interface to access infiniband
Packit 577717
performance counters from user space. On initialization, it checks for the  
Packit 577717
existence of folder /sys/class/infiniband/ and it auto-detects all the
Packit 577717
active IB devices and associated ports.

Packit 577717
This component supports both the short IB counters, which are at most
Packit 577717
32-bit, overflowing and auto resetting, thus, not very useful, and the IBoE
Packit 577717
extended counters, which are 64-bit and free running. If available, the
Packit 577717
latter counters are recommended for performance monitoring.
