perfgroup
21+
---------
22+
23+
Similar to rawperf, but instead of monitoring a single application, it
24+
starts a group of applications and monitors all of the applications.
25+
26+
Just like rawperf, it dumps application statistics on exit and when
27+
receiving a SIGUSR1. Unlike rawperf, counter statistics are always
28+
printed on STDERR.
29+
30+
Perfgroup automatically pins target applications to OS threads. By
31+
default, it pins applications to threads sequentially, starting with
32+
thread 0. The '-c'/'--cpu-list' option can be used to specify custom
33+
mappings between target applications and OS threads.
