Announcing PAPI 7.2.0 Release

[Heike Jagode]

Dear PAPI users,

We are excited to announce that PAPI version 7.2.0 is now available for download!

This release officially introduces two new components: (1) rocp_sdk: Supports AMD GPUs and APUs via the ROCprofiler-SDK interface; (2) topdown: Provides proper support for Intel topdown metrics. PAPI 7.2.0 also introduces preset events for non-CPU devices, starting with CUDA events. In addition, component code has been extended to include a statistics qualifier (e.g., for CUDA events), offering more concise and functional output in the papi_native_avail utility.

You can find a full list of major updates and improvements in the release notes.

This release wouldn't have been possible without the contributions of many. A big thank you to:
Vince Weaver, Willow Cunningham, Stephane Eranian (libpfm4), William Cohen, Steve Kaufmann, Dandan Zhang, Yoshihiro Furudera, Akio Kakuno, Richard Evans, Humberto Gomes, and Phil Mucci.

Thanks for being part of the PAPI community!

The PAPI Team
