Ok but why if i put instructions(more than 600instructions) between two
cache access ,data_ear_lat4 doesn't change?
For example:
The asm code:
mov r1 = r32
mov r15 = r0
addl r16 = 99999, r0
.L7:
;;
sxt4 r14 = r15
adds r17 = 16, r12
;;
shladd r14 = r14, 2, r17
;;
ldfs f6 = [r14] (1)
;;
fadd.s f6 = f6, f1(2)
;;
stfs [r14] = f6
adds r15 = 1, r15
;;
cmp4.ge p6, p7 = r16, r15
(p6) br.cond.dptk .L7
I obtain:
12376 DATA_EAR_CACHE_LAT4
100611 L2_DATA_REFERENCES_L2_DATA_READSwith 600 independant instructions(mov r7 = r8;; for example) i obtain the same result thanks you nicolas -------Message original------- De : Stephane Eranian Date : 21/12/2006 18:34:37 A : nicolas inglart Cc : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sujet : Re: [perfmon] DATA_EAR_CACHE_LAT4 Vs.

The answer is fairly simple. The DATA_EAR_CACHE_LAT4 event does not count ALL the L1D cache misses but only the ones that are tracked by the Data-EAR. The Data EAR does not track all L1D misses by construction. As you realize once a load is selected to be tracked by the Data EAR, no other load can be tracked until the Data EAR record is complete i.e., until the miss latency is known which happens when the missing data is brought into the L1D cache. During that time, other loads in the "shadow" of the track load may miss and they will be counted by L1D_READ_MISSES_ALL but not by DATA_EAR_CACHE_*. So I would expect that the DATA_EAR_CACHE_LAT4 count will always be lower or equal to L1D_READ_MISSES_ALL. Hope this helps. -- -Stephane _______________________________________________ perfmon mailing list [email protected] http://www.hpl.hp.com/hosted/linux/mail-archives/perfmon/ -- Ce message a iti virifii par MailScanner pour des virus ou des polluriels et rien de suspect n'a iti trouvi.
