s composed of a set of hardware counters called performance monitoring counters pmcs these counters are model specific registers that count each time a low level processor event occurs within the cpu such as a branch misprediction or cache miss you can read and configure pmcs in the pmu by using performance monitoring software such as intel vtune profiler after you enable the pmu in a compute instance the pmu runs in the background continuously monitoring performance events using pmcs you can optionally configure thresholds for specific pmcs using your preferred performance monitoring software if a pmc exceeds its designated threshold then the pmu notifies the software pmu events by default the pmu is disabled in compute instances to enable it specify the types of low level cpu events to track by enabling one of the following pmu types architectural architectural you can measure the following architectural performance events branch instructions retired the number of branch instructions retired use this event to measure your code s execution and identify potential performance bottlenecks branch misses retired the number of branch instructions that were mispredicted causing the processor to stall and discard fetched instructions if you see a high number for this event then you can likely optimize the cpu performance instructions retired the number of instructions the cpu successfully processes use this event to measure the cpu s instruction throughput top down slots the number of available slots within a processor s pipeline that are used to simultaneously execute instructions use this event to understand how efficiently your code is using the processor s resources unhalted core cycles the number of core cycles when the thread isn t halted for example due to power management or interrupts use this event to evaluate the overall usage of the processor unhalted reference cycles the number of reference cycles when the core isn t halted for example when fetching data or instructions the core is halted when it runs the hlt or mwait instructions reference cycles operate at a fixed frequency providing a stable time reference even when the speed of the processor changes to preserve energy use this event to measure the time spent on a task and identify performance bottlenecks in your code standard standard you can measure all events from the architectural pmu type and any local events inside the cpu core including level 2 l2 cache events enhanced enhanced you can measure all events from the standard pmu type and any local events outside the cpu core including level 3 l3 cache events supported machine series and cpu platforms you can enable the pmu on compute instances that use the following machine series and cpu platforms cpu
