Isn't that the value passed to the --prefix option of the configure ?

Maybe what we should do is :

1) Check whether $HOME/.starpu/sampling exists, in which case we could 
store our perfmodels there.
2) Check whether $XDG_CACHE_HOME is defined : in this case, store the 
perfmodels in $XDG_CACHE_HOME/starpu/sampling
3) Store the perfmodels in $STARPU_HOME/starpu/sampling

How good would that be ?
