		Many modern CPUs provide on chip counters for
		performance events such as retiring instructions
		and cache misses. The hwpmc driver and libraries
		in FreeBSD give systems administrators and programmers
		access to APIs which make it possible to measure
		performance without modifying source code and with
		minimal intrusion into application execution. This
		talk will be a brief introduction to HWPMC, and how
		to use it.
		 
		Bio: George Neville-Neil is the co-author with Kirk
		McKusick of The Design and Implementation of the
		FreeBSD Operating System. He works on networking
		an operating systems for fun and profit.
