NAME

       libpfm_intel_atom - support for Intel Atom processors

SYNOPSIS

       #include <perfmon/pfmlib.h>

       PMU name: atom
       PMU desc: Intel Atom

DESCRIPTION

       The library supports all Intel Atom-based processors that includes family 6 model 28.

MODIFIERS

       The following modifiers are supported on Intel Atom 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 occur-
	      rences of the event is greater or equal to the threshold. This is an integer modifier with values in the range [0:255].

       t      Measure on both threads at the same time assuming hyper-threading is enabled. This is a boolean modifier.

NAME

	libpfm_intel_p6 - support for Intel P5 based processors

SYNOPSIS

       #include <perfmon/pfmlib.h>

       PMU name: pm, ppro, pii, piii, p6
       PMU desc: Intel Pentium M, Intel Pentium Pro, Intel Pentium II, Intel Pentium III, Intel P6

DESCRIPTION

       The  library  supports all Intel P6-based processors all the way back to the Pentium Pro. Although all those processors offers the same PMU
       architecture, they differ in the events they provide.

MODIFIERS

       The following modifiers are supported on all Intel P6 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  occur-
	      rences of the event is greater or equal to the threshold. This is an integer modifier with values in the range [0:255].
