Dear all, I try to install perfmon2 into kernel 2.6.18-53.1.6.el5-PAPI. My aim is to collect L3 cache events on Barcelona (QC AMD Opteron 8356). I show /proc/cpuinfo as below.
processor : 15 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 16 model : 2 model name : Quad-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 8356 stepping : 3 cpu MHz : 2300.096 cache size : 512 KB ... I would like to confirm the combination of packages in order to be able to use perfmon2 on this processor. According to "Supported hardware" in perfmon2 web site, AMD64 processors (all models from family 15 and 16) can be supported. http://perfmon2.sourceforge.net/hw.html On my kernel version 2.6.18, can I count L3 cache events using the following packages? (1) pfmon-3.8.tar.gz libpfm-3.8.tar.gz perfmon-new-base-060926.tar.gz Or do I have to use older pfmon-x.x showed as below? Does its version support Barcelona? At this released time, Barcelona didn't exist, I think. (2) pfmon-3.2-060926.tar.gz libpfm-3.2-060926.tar.gz perfmon-new-base-060926.tar.gz(same as above) Or do I have to use latest kernel combination? (3) * Kernel source 2.6.28-1 pfmon-3.8.tar.gz libpfm-3.8.tar.gz perfmon-new-base-090219.tar.gz Which combination is your recommendation? I want to use kernel 2.6.18 as soon as possible. Can you please provide your opinions about installing package?
