get PMU counter values with ETW, perf or kperf

MiniPerf

Example of how to capture CPU counters with ETW on Windows, perf on Linux or kperf on Apple.

Using ETW needs somewhat recently updated Windows 10 or 11. Not sure about exact version.

Currently tested on:

  • etw on Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite, Windows 11, arm64
  • etw on AMD Zen 3, Windows 11 (with virtualization enabled in BIOS)

Download MSVC compiler/linker & Windows SDK without installing full Visual Studio

This downloads standalone MSVC compiler, linker & other tools, also headers/libraries from Windows SDK into portable folder, without installing Visual Studio. Has bare minimum components - no UWP/Store/WindowsRT stuff, just files & tools for native desktop app development.

Run py.exe portable-msvc.py and it will download output into msvc folder. By default it will download latest available MSVC & Windows SDK - currently v14.40.33807 and v10.0.26100.0.

You can list available versions with py.exe portable-msvc.py --show-versions and then pass versions you want with --msvc-version and --sdk-version arguments.

To use cl.exe/link.exe first run setup_TARGET.bat - after that PATH/INCLUDE/LIB env variables will be updated to use all the tools as usual. You can also use clang-cl.exe with these includes & libraries.

To use clang-cl.exe without running setup.bat, pass extra /winsysroot msvc argument (msvc is folder name where output is stored).
