HP Caliper User's Guide

into one user-reported sample. The result is saved in the text file cpu.txt in the current
directory.
$ caliper cpu -m cpi:user,cpi:kernel my_app
This command gets separate CPI data at user and kernel privilege levels.
$ caliper cpu -o cpu.txt -w -e 120
This command collects system-wide overview metrics for two minutes and saves the
result in the text file cpu.txt in the current directory.
Example Command Line for CSV Report
$ caliper cpu --csv csvout ./wordplay thequickbrownfox
CPU Event Sets
For the cpu measurement report, you specify one or more comma-separated lists of
predefined event sets.
The available event sets are:
brpath
Provides information on the dynamic mix of branch types, branch
path distribution, branches per instruction, and so forth.
brpred
Provides metrics that are useful in assessing the effectiveness of
branch prediction.
c2c
Provides “cache-to-cache” metrics related to cache coherence
activity.
cpi
Provides metrics related to cycles per instruction (CPI).
cpubus
Provides information on the demand that a specific CPU presents
to the central electronics complex (CEC), the chip set surrounding
the CPU, and the demand the CPU experiences due to the CEC
traffic initiated by other CPUs or I/O components in the system.
cspec
Provides metrics on the effectiveness of control speculation.
dispersal
Provides a qualitative view of the parallelism that is available as
seen at instruction dispersal.
dspec
Provides metrics on the effectiveness of data speculation.
fp
Provides information relating to floating-point operation density,
execution rate, and flush/trap events density.
l1dcache
Provides miss rate information for the L1 data cache.
l1icache
Provides miss and prefetch usage information for the L1 instruction
cache.
l2cache
Provides miss rate information for the L2 unified cache.
If you specify this event set and you are on an Integrity servers
dual-core Itanium 2 or Itanium 9300 quad-core processor system,
it is treated as if you specified -m l2dcache,l2icache.
