PMC.IVYBRIDGE(3)

NAME
pmc.ivybridge - measurement events for Intel Ivy Bridge family CPUs

LIBRARY
libpmc

SYNOPSIS
#include <pmc.h>

DESCRIPTION
Intel Ivy Bridge CPUs contain PMCs conforming to version 2 of the Intel performance measurement architecture. These CPUs may contain up to three classes of PMCs:

PMC_CLASS_IAF
    Fixed-function counters that count only one hardware event per counter.

PMC_CLASS_IAP
    Programmable counters that may be configured to count one of a defined set of hardware events.

The number of PMCs available in each class and their widths need to be determined at run time by calling pmc_cpuinfo(3).

Intel Ivy Bridge PMCs are documented in Intel(R) 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual, Volume 3B: System Programming Guide, Part 2, Order Number: 253669-043US, May 2012, Intel Corporation.
