Hi, I think the section of the manual you're referring to talks about drill-down on an Intel Core (Core 2) processors. There you do have RS_UOPS_DISPATCHED.
If you want to do something similar on Nehalem, I recommend you look at the presentations here: https://openlab-mu-internal.web.cern.ch/openlab-mu-internal/00_News/News_pages/2010/10-15_Meeting_David_Levinthal/10-15_Meeting_David_Levinthal.htm On Thu, Nov 25, 2010 at 4:39 PM, Eduard Diner <eduard.di...@googlemail.com> wrote: > Hi guys, > I have instrumented my code on Nehalem with libpfm4 and now I am a little > bit confused. > I am reading Intel's "IA64-Optimization-Reference".
