Is the answer to "A" or "B" ... why not provide both: $ ls -l /sys/fs/resctrl/mon_data total 0 dr-xr-xr-x. 2 root root 0 Mar 18 14:01 mon_L3_00 dr-xr-xr-x. 2 root root 0 Mar 18 14:01 mon_L3_01 dr-xr-xr-x. 2 root root 0 Mar 18 14:01 mon_NODE_00 dr-xr-xr-x. 2 root root 0 Mar 18 14:01 mon_NODE_01 dr-xr-xr-x. 2 root root 0 Mar 18 14:01 mon_NODE_02 dr-xr-xr-x. 2 root root 0 Mar 18 14:01 mon_NODE_03 The "L3" entries provide the sum across all SNC nodes sharing the cache. The NODE ones give the broken out counts. -Tony
