6 generic_events - generic performance counter events
7
9 The Solaris cpc(3CPC) subsystem implements a number of predefined,
10 generic performance counter events. Each generic event maps onto a sin‐
11 gle platform specific event and one or more optional attributes. Each
12 hardware platform only need support a subset of the total set of
13 generic events.
14 The defined generic events are:
17 PAPI_br_cn Conditional branch instructions
19 PAPI_br_ins Branch instructions taken
22 PAPI_br_msp Conditional branch instructions mispredicted
25 PAPI_br_ntk Conditional branch instructions not taken
28 PAPI_br_prc Conditional branch instructions correctly predicted
