Hi,
I was wondering if there are any metrics I can use to track the performance of the CCPI2 interconnect. Intel has two metrics in some of its CPUs: UPI bandwidth and UPI utilization outgoing. I'm using CentOS 8 and the perf tools has the following events available: data_pktsent, gic_pktsent, req_pktsent and snoop_pktsent. are there any performance metrics i can compute using these performance counters?
thanks,
YAH
Dear YHuerta,
A list of PMU events specific to ThunderX2 could be find here: marvell-server-processors-thunderx2-cn99xx-pmu-events-white-paper-2019-11.pdf
Do you have a specific performance that you would like to track in mind?
Note that CCPI stand for Cavium Coherent Processor Interconnect and is not an Arm IP.
Thanks. I'm just studying the ThunderX2 architecture
