You can also use Oracle Solaris Studio to profile your application using one of the TLB HW counters. Various counters are available depending on the precise Opteron chip model.
To do such a profile: collect -h l2dtlbm a.out args will collect a statistical profile, and show which functions and source lines had the most L2 DTLB misses.
