1. Program Name : papi-pthreads-find-min-value.c
Description : The program randomly generated the list of integers.The list
of integers is partitioned equally among the threads. The
size of each threads partition of stored in a variable and
the pointer to the start of each threads partial list is
passed to it as a pointer.The minimum value is protected by
the mutex-lock .Threads execute the mutex lock to gain
exclusive access to the minimum value. Once this access is
gained, the value is updated as required, and the lock
subsequently released. Since at any time, only one thread
can hold the lock, only one thread can update the value. As
each thread does the work, an event set is created with the
events PAPI_TOT_INS, PAPI_TOT_CYC, & PAPI_LST_INS and these
events data for each thread are captured.
