• Filter Dependency:

PCUFilter[7:0]

• Definition:

Counts the number of cycles that the uncore was running at a frequency greater than

or equal to the frequency that is configured in the filter. One can use all four counters with this

event, so it is possible to track up to 4 configurable bands. One can use edge detect in conjunction

with this event to track the number of times that we transitioned into a frequency greater than or

equal to the configurable frequency. One can also use inversion to track cycles when we were less

than the configured frequency.

• NOTE:

The PMON control registers in the PCU only update on a frequency transition. Changing

the measuring threshold during a sample interval may introduce errors in the counts. This is espe-

cially true when running at a constant frequency for an extended period of time. There is a corner

case here: we set this code on the GV transition. So, if we never GV we will never call this code.

This event does not include transition times. It is handled on fast path.
