libpfm_intel_hswep_unc_pcu - support for Intel Haswell-EP Power Con‐
troller Unit (PCU) uncore PMU
#include <perfmon/pfmlib.h>
PMU name: hswep_unc_pcu
PMU desc: Intel Haswell-EP PCU uncore PMU
The library supports the Intel Haswell Power Controller Unit uncore
PMU. This PMU model only exists on Haswell model 63.
The following modifiers are supported on Intel Haswell PCU uncore
PMU:
e Enable edge detection, i.e., count only when there is a state
transition from no occurrence of the event to at least one
occurrence. This modifier must be combined with a threshold
modifier (t) with a value greater or equal to one. This is a
boolean modifier.
t Set the threshold value. When set to a non-zero value, the
counter counts the number of HA 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 [0:15].
i Invert the meaning of the threshold or edge filter. If set,
the event counts when strictly less than N occurrences occur
per cycle if threshold is set to N. When invert is set, then
threshold must be set to non-zero value. If set, the event
counts when the event transitions from occurring to not
occurring (falling edge) when edge detection is set. This is a
boolean modifier
ff Enable frequency band filtering. This modifier applies only to
the UNC_P_FREQ_BANDx_CYCLES events, where x is [0-3]. The
modifiers expects an integer in the range [0-255]. The value
is interpreted as a frequency value to be multiplied by
100Mhz. Thus if the value is 32, then all cycles where the
processor is running at 3.2GHz and more are counted.
There are 3 events which support frequency band filtering, namely,
UNC_P_FREQ_BAND0_CYCLES, UNC_P_FREQ_BAND1_CYCLES,
UNC_P_FREQ_BAND2_CYCLES, UNC_P_FREQ_BAND3_CYCLES. The frequency
filter (available via the ff modifier) is stored into a PMU shared
register which hold all 4 possible frequency bands, one per event.
However, the library generate the encoding for each event
individually because it processes events one at a time. The caller or
the underlying kernel interface may have to merge the band filter
settings to program the filter register properly.
