How to check TLB size and measure TLB misses on Virtual Machine running on Intel Processor

1,019 Views

Hi,

I'm working in a project where multuple VMs are running on a compute host which is an Intel Processor - Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2695 v4.

I want to know how many 1G hugepage entries does a TLB of this processor have? Are there any comamnds to check this information from the VM? Also, how to measure the TLB misses?

Thanks
