Dear Tri, Thanks for your interest in CloudSuite.
Please refer to appendix of the journal version (http://infoscience.epfl.ch/record/182529). You can find all the details on the methodology used in the "Clearing the Clouds" paper. Regards, -Stavros. ________________________________________ From: Tri M.

I want to replicate the results reported. The reason that I ask is because there are different combinations of measuring the same parameter. For example, to measure the L2 miss rate, I can either use `l2_access` and `l2_hit`, or replace `l2_access` with `l1_miss`, or `l2_access` and `l3_access`, or any of the above in IBS mode. Worse yet, I found that the results can be quite conflicting. I am using Intel VTune with an Intel Westmere processor (Xeon E7-4870), which I believe is of the same generation as the one you used. Much thanks! Tri
