Description Adrian Chadd freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2015-03-20 01:04:21 UTC
Here's a fun one:

cpuset -l 2 pmcstat -w 1 -p CPU_CLK_UNHALTED_CORE -p PARTIAL_RAT_STALLS.SLOW_LEA_WINDOW -p PARTIAL_RAT_STALLS.MUL_SINGLE_UOP ./himenobmtxpa M 384
mimax = 128 mjmax = 128 mkmax = 256
imax = 127 jmax = 127 kmax =255
 Start rehearsal measurement process.
 Measure the performance in 3 times.

 MFLOPS: 1487.222542 time(s): 0.271122 1.733593e-03

 Now, start the actual measurement process.
 The loop will be excuted in 663 times
 This will take about one minute.
 Wait for a while

Notice how some of these event counters are huge? they shouldn't be; they're cycle counters.

It seems like PARTIAL_RAT_STALLS.SLOW_LEA_WINDOW and PARTIAL_RAT_STALLS.MUL_SINGLE_UOP related to Sandybridge CPUs. Since I don't have real hardware I tried it in VM:

root@bsd:/home/tsgan/himenobmtxpa/src # cpuset -l 0 pmcstat -w 1 -p CPU_CLK_UNHALTED_CORE -p PARTIAL_RAT_STALLS.SLOW_LEA_WINDOW -p PARTIAL_RAT_STALLS.MUL_SINGLE_UOP ./himenobmtxpa M 384
For example:
 Grid-size= XS (32x32x64)
	    S  (64x64x128)
	    M  (128x128x256)
	    L  (256x256x512)
	    XL (512x512x1024)

Grid-size = # p/CPU_CLK_UNHALTED_CORE p/PARTIAL_RAT_STALLS.SLOW_LEA_WINDOW p/PARTIAL_RAT_STALLS.MUL_SINGLE_UOP

...

Not sure whether my setup is correct or not, but I don't see such big numbers.

How many and what type of CPUs do you have? What else is running on your system? How can I test it in Xeon system?
Comment 2 Adrian Chadd freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2015-04-19 18:08:09 UTC
Hi,

It's not running the benchmark - it's waiting for you to select the kind of benchmark to run. That's why you're seeing zero values.
Comment 3 ganbold 2015-04-20 23:29:52 UTC
Ok, my case is probably different, so I see different numbers, but not huge:

cpuset -l 0 pmcstat -w 1 -p CPU_CLK_UNHALTED_CORE -p PARTIAL_RAT_STALLS.SLOW_LEA_WINDOW -p PARTIAL_RAT_STALLS.MUL_SINGLE_UOP ./himenobmtxpa XL
mimax = 512 mjmax = 512 mkmax = 1024
imax = 511 jmax = 511 kmax =1023
