Which performance counters can VTune show us?

[LIU_Q_]

I want to learn about which performance counters are related to the performance of a program, and which  performance counters can VTune show us?

Please read following tutorial.

Btw this is one of the best introduction to CPU profiling.

Take a look at this text:

One way that I know to see all events that VTune can "monitor" is in the create new analyzis window. It shows all events (with a short description) and let you choose which ones you want to monitor.

Good luck.
