L2ICACHE Event Set Metrics
Table B-15 “L2ICACHE Event Set: Metrics Available for Multiplexed PMU Statistics”
shows the metrics available using the L2DCACHE event set. See “Multiplexed PMU
Statistics” (p. 38) for more information.
In these metrics, replace statistic with one of the following: MEAN, STDEV, 90%CI,
MINIMUM, LOW90, HIGH90, or MAXIMUM.
NOTE: These metrics apply only to the dual-processor Itanium 2 processor
(code-named Montecito).
