NAME         top

       libpfm_intel_wsm_unc - support for Intel Westmere uncore PMU

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <perfmon/pfmlib.h>
       PMU name: wsm_unc
       PMU desc: Intel Westmere uncore

DESCRIPTION         top

       The library supports the Intel Westmere uncore PMU as implemented by
       processors such as Intel Core i7, and Intel Core i5 (models 37, 44).
       The PMU is located at the socket-level and is therefore shared
       between the various cores. By construction it can only measure at all
       privilege levels.

MODIFIERS         top

       The following modifiers are supported on Intel Westmere processors:
       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].
       o      Causes the queue occupancy counter associated with the event
              to be cleared (zeroed). This is a boolean modifier.
