# llvm-exegesis
`llvm-exegesis` is a benchmarking tool that accepts or assembles a snippet and
can measure characteristics of that snippet by executing it while keeping track
of performance counters.
### Currently Supported Platforms
`llvm-exegesis` is quite platform-dependent and currently only supports a couple
platform configurations for benchmarking. The limitations are listed below.
Analysis mode in `llvm-exegesis` is supported on all platforms on which LLVM is.
#### Currently Supported Operating Systems for Benchmarking
Currently, `llvm-exegesis` only supports benchmarking on Linux. This is mainly
due to a dependency on the Linux perf subsystem for reading performance
counters.
#### Currently Supported Architectures for Benchmarking
Currently, using `llvm-exegesis` for benchmarking is supported on the following
architectures:
* x86
* 64-bit only due to this being the only implemented calling convention
in `llvm-exegesis` currently.
* ARM
* AArch64 only
* MIPS
* PowerPC (PowerPC64LE only)
Note that not benchmarking functionality is guaranteed to work on all platforms.
