NAME         top

       libpfm_amd64_k7 - support for AMD64 K7 processors

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <perfmon/pfmlib.h>
       PMU name: amd64_k7
       PMU desc: AMD64 K7

DESCRIPTION         top

       The library supports AMD K7 processors in both 32 and 64-bit modes.
       They correspond to processor family 6.

MODIFIERS         top

       The following modifiers are supported on AMD64 K7 processors:
       u      Measure at user level which includes privilege levels 1, 2, 3.
              This corresponds to PFM_PLM3.  This is a boolean modifier.
       k      Measure at kernel level which includes privilege level 0. This
              corresponds to PFM_PLM0.  This is a boolean modifier.
       i      Invert the meaning of the event. The counter will now count
              cycles in which the event is not occurring. This is a boolean
              modifier
       e      Enable edge detection, i.e., count only when there is a state
              transition. This is a boolean modifier.
       c      Set the counter mask value. The mask acts as a threshold. The
              counter will count the number of cycles in which the number of
              occurrences of the event is greater or equal to the threshold.
              This is an integer modifier with values in the range [0:255].
