Below is driver specific information/instructions for the PPS producer.
Freedreno / Turnip
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The Freedreno PPS driver needs root access to read system-wide
performance counters, so you can simply run it with sudo:
.. code-block:: console
sudo ./build/src/tool/pps/pps-producer
Intel
^^^^^
The Intel PPS driver needs root access to read system-wide
`RenderBasic <https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/documentation/vtune-help/top/reference/gpu-metrics-reference.html>`__
performance counters, so you can simply run it with sudo:
.. code-block:: console
sudo ./build/src/tool/pps/pps-producer
Another option to enable access wide data without root permissions would be running the following:
.. code-block:: console
sudo sysctl dev.i915.perf_stream_paranoid=0
Alternatively using the ``CAP_PERFMON`` permission on the binary should work too.
Panfrost
