There is a tool called pfmon which can collect per-process (task) or 
system-wide monitoring information based on the IA-64 performance 
counters (PMU). ALL the features of the PMU for both Itanium and Itanium2 are
supported. Currently multi-threaded applications are not supported
in the per-process mode.

You can get this tool from:

		ftp://ftp.hpl.hp.com/pub/linux-ia64/pfmon-1.1.tar.gz
		(a  binary RPM is also available)

To get this tool to work, you NEED to use 2.4.18.
