NAME¶
likwid-accessD - This tool forwards the access operations from LIKWID PerfMon
tools to the MSR and PCI device files
DESCRIPTION¶
likwid-accessD is a command line application that opens a UNIX file
socket and waits for access operations from LIKWID tools that require access
to the MSR and PCI device files. The MSR and PCI device files are only
accessible for users with root privileges, therefore likwid-accessD
requires the suid-bit set or a suitable libcap setting. Depending on the
current system architecture, likwid-accessD permits only access to
registers defined for the architecture.
