Hi, what's the difference between the two events task-clock and cpu-clock?
I couldn't find any information that tells me the difference. Why does the event modifier 'u' has no effect on these two software events? Cheers, Andreas Here is the example: $ time perf stat -e '{task-clock,task-clock:u,cpu-clock,cpu-clock:u,instructions,instructions:u}' dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null count=10000000 10000000+0 records in 10000000+0 records out 5120000000 bytes (5.1 GB) copied, 2.99018 s, 1.7 GB/s Performance counter stats for 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null count=10000000': 2989.907827 task-clock # 0.999 CPUs utilized 2989.907827 task-clock:u # 0.999 CPUs utilized 2989.992015 cpu-clock 2989.999305 cpu-clock:u 14,525,479,811 instructions # 0.00 insns per cycle 3,130,315,989 instructions:u # 0.00 insns per cycle 2.991410383 seconds time elapsed real 0m3.001s user 0m0.723s sys 0m2.270s -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-perf-users" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
