IPM: Interval Performance Monitoring

The Interval Performance Monitoring (IPM) package provides a portable interface for taking performance related statistics over an "interval" of a code's execution. The interval is delimited by explicit calls to IPM start and stop routines. The package also provides a simple, portable interface to read high resolution timers.

The current release is version 2.0 and is believed to work on:

SunOS4
SunOS5
Irix 4.0.5H
Irix 5.3
Irix 6.1
HP-UX 9.3
AIX 3.2
DEC OSF 3.2
Linux
SPERT-II
In this release, the only statistic that can be measured is time. Future releases will give access to other performance statistics.
