perf-stat(1)
============
NAME
----
perf-stat - Run a command and gather performance counter statistics
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'perf stat' [-e <EVENT> | --event=EVENT] [-a] <command>
'perf stat' [-e <EVENT> | --event=EVENT] [-a] -- <command> [<options>]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
This command runs a command and gathers performance counter statistics
from it.
OPTIONS
-------
<command>...::
Any command you can specify in a shell.
-e::
--event=::
Select the PMU event. Selection can be a symbolic event name
(use 'perf list' to list all events) or a raw PMU
event (eventsel+umask) in the form of rNNN where NNN is a
hexadecimal event descriptor.
-i::
--no-inherit::
child tasks do not inherit counters
-p::
--pid=<pid>::
stat events on existing process id
-t::
--tid=<tid>::
stat events on existing thread id
-a::
--all-cpus::
system-wide collection from all CPUs
-c::
--scale::
scale/normalize counter values
-r::
--repeat=<n>::
repeat command and print average + stddev (max: 100)
-B::
--big-num::
print large numbers with thousands' separators according to locale
-C::
--cpu=::
Count only on the list of CPUs provided. Multiple CPUs can be provided as a
comma-separated list with no space: 0,1. Ranges of CPUs are specified with -: 0-2.
In per-thread mode, this option is ignored. The -a option is still necessary
to activate system-wide monitoring. Default is to count on all CPUs.
-A::
--no-aggr::
Do not aggregate counts across all monitored CPUs in system-wide mode (-a).
This option is only valid in system-wide mode.
-n::
--null::
null run - don't start any counters
-v::
--verbose::
be more verbose (show counter open errors, etc)
-x SEP::
--field-separator SEP::
print counts using a CSV-style output to make it easy to import directly into
spreadsheets. Columns are separated by the string specified in SEP.
EXAMPLES
--------
$ perf stat -- make -j

235724 pagefaults # 0.029 M/sec
24821162526 CPU cycles # 3057.784 M/sec
18687303457 instructions # 2302.138 M/sec
