The following sections describe methods of profiling DPDK applications on

+Performance counter based profiling
+-----------------------------------
+
+Majority of architectures support some sort hardware measurement unit which provides a set of
+programmable counters that monitor specific events. There are different tools which can gather
+that information, perf being an example here. Though in some scenarios, eg. when CPU cores are
+isolated (nohz_full) and run dedicated tasks, using perf is less than ideal. In such cases one can
+read specific events directly from application via ``rte_pmu_read()``.

+ Added a new PMU (performance measurement unit) library which allows applications
+ to perform self monitoring activities without depending on external utilities like perf.
+ After integration with :doc:`../prog_guide/trace_lib` data gathered from hardware counters
+ can be stored in CTF format for further analysis.
