Proposal for Roofline Support in perf

Proposal for Roofline Support in perf

[M V V S Manoj Kumar]

My name is M V V S Manoj Kumar, an open-source contributor to GCC with
contributions to GCCRS [see
here](https://github.com/Rust-GCC/gccrs/issues?q=assignee%3Amvvsmk+is%3Aclosed)
and a research intern with the compilers group at IITH [website
link](https://compilers.cse.iith.ac.in/), India. I'm writing to
propose a project that aims to add roofline support to the perf tool.

During my internship, I've gained significant experience in roofline
analysis. This project involves incorporating micro-benchmarks to
generate roofline data, initially using the Original roofline model
outlined in the following paper:
[paper](https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~kubitron/cs252/handouts/papers/RooflineVyNoYellow.pdf).
We can later explore incorporating cache-aware rooflines
[paper](https://www.inesc-id.pt/ficheiros/publicacoes/9068.pdf).

For testing and comparison, I have access to a laptop with an Intel
10300H processor. This allows for comparison with tools like Intel
Advisor, Likwid, and other open source toolkits.

I believe your mentorship would be invaluable in guiding me through
this project. I'd like to explore the perf codebase to gain a better
understanding of its structure. I would be grateful for any advice you
may have regarding exploring the codebase, suggesting initial "easy
hacks" or beginner-friendly issues to contribute to, and pointing me
towards appropriate communication channels within the perf community.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

M V V S Manoj Kumar
