R2PCIe Performance Monitoring
2.8.1
Overview of the R2PCIe Box
R2PCIe represents the interface between the Ring and IIO traffic to/from PCIe.
2.8.2
R2PCIe Performance Monitoring Overview
The R2PCIe Box supports event monitoring through four 44b wide counters (R2_PCI_PMON_CTR/
CTL{3:0}). Each of these four counters can be programmed to count almost any R2PCIe event (see
NOTE for exceptions). the R2PCIe counters can increment by a maximum of 5b per cycle (???).
For information on how to setup a monitoring session, refer to
Section 2.1, “Uncore Per-Socket
Performance Monitoring Control”
.
Note:
Only counter 0 can be used for tracking occupancy events. Only counters 2&3 can be
used for ring utilization events.
