PMC.HASWELLUC(3)	    Library Functions Manual	      PMC.HASWELLUC(3)

NAME
       pmc.haswelluc  --  uncore  measurement  events for Intel	Haswell	family
       CPUs

LIBRARY
       Performance Counters Library (libpmc, -lpmc)

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<pmc.h>

DESCRIPTION
       Intel Haswell CPUs contain PMCs conforming to version 3	of  the	 Intel
       performance  measurement	 architecture.	These CPUs contain two classes
       of PMCs:

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

       PMC_CLASS_UCP	 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 Haswell PMCs are documented in "Combined Volumes: 1, 2A, 2B,  2C,
       3A, 3B and 3C", Intel(R)	64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developers
       Manual, Order Number: 325462-045US, Intel Corporation, January 2013.

   HASWELL UNCORE FIXED	FUNCTION PMCS
       These  PMCs  and	 their	supported events are documented	in pmc.ucf(3).
       Not all CPUs in this family implement fixed-function counters.

   HASWELL UNCORE PROGRAMMABLE PMCS
       The programmable	PMCs support the following capabilities:

       Capability	    Support
       PMC_CAP_CASCADE	    No
       PMC_CAP_EDGE	    Yes
       PMC_CAP_INTERRUPT    No
       PMC_CAP_INVERT	    Yes
       PMC_CAP_READ	    Yes
       PMC_CAP_PRECISE	    No
       PMC_CAP_SYSTEM	    No
       PMC_CAP_TAGGING	    No
       PMC_CAP_THRESHOLD    Yes
       PMC_CAP_USER	    No
       PMC_CAP_WRITE	    Yes

   Event Qualifiers
       Event specifiers	for these PMCs support	the  following	common	quali-
       fiers:

       cmask=value
	       Configure the PMC to increment only if the number of configured
	       events measured in a cycle is greater than or equal to value.

       edge    Configure  the  PMC  to	count the number of de-asserted	to as-
	       serted transitions of the conditions  expressed	by  the	 other
	       qualifiers.  If specified, the counter will increment only once
	       whenever	 a  condition becomes true, irrespective of the	number
	       of clocks during	which the condition remains true.

       inv     Invert the sense	of comparison when the	"cmask"	 qualifier  is
	       present,	making the counter increment when the number of	events
	       per cycle is less than the value	specified by the "cmask" qual-
	       ifier.
