[Gems-users] How can i get hit counts caused only by user applications?

[정종필08 (JongPil Jung) <jpjung08@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

 

I have two simple questions about ruby. What I’m doing now is to count L2 cache hits for each bank caused by some user applications. Please help me with these questions.

 

 

1)     With some searching, I found out that supervisor_misses are misses caused by OS and user_misses are by user application. Then, does the numbers below DNUCA_hits: indicates the hit counts caused only by user applications? Or, does it include both misses by OS and user applications? If it includes both, how can I get the hit counts caused only by user application?

 

2)     What does g_NUM_DNUCA_BANK_SETS mean? In my guess, some number of banks are considered as a set, and the total number of L2 banks(g_NUM_L2_BANKS) is g_NUM_DNUCA_BANK_SETS X g_NUM_BANKS_IN_BANK_SET. Am I right? Then, what does this “set” do?

 

 

Thank you!!
