Hardware Event List

If required, edit a list of PMU events monitored by the
Intel® VTune™
Profiler
 for your processor by modifying an existing or creating a new hardware event-based sampling (EBS) analysis configuration.
To add events:
  1. In the
    HOW
     pane, select an existing hardware event-based analysis (for example, Microarchitecture Exploration) and click the
    Copy
     button to create a custom copy of this configuration.
    The new analysis type shows up under the
    Custom Analysis
     group in the
    HOW
     pane.
  2. From the list of PMU events supported for the current platform, select the events you want the
    VTune
    Profiler
     to monitor in your new configuration.
    You may select an event and click the
    Explain...
     button at the bottom to open the and read more details on the selected event.
    To filter in/out the event list for particular event(s), specify search keywords (applied to both the
    Event Name
     and
    Event Description
     columns) in the
    Filter
     field.
    Usually precise events have a _PS postfix (for example, UOPS_RETIRED.RETIRE_SLOTS_PS) and/or a clear indication (Precise Event) in the Event Description column.
  3. Click
    Start
     to run your new analysis configuration.
You may configure the
VTune
Profiler
 to monitor all the events in a single collection run using event multiplexing or allow multiple runs to collect more precise event data.
