I am running PCM (version 2.8) numa and power utilities on Ivy Bridge platform (Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E7-4860 v2) Model 62 but getting this "Unsupported Processor Model" error. pcm-power reads returns my model number as -1. Is it not supported by PCM v2.8?

As mentioned above, I am running pcm-numa.x on Ivy Bridge platform model 62 (Xeon E7 v2). PCM can detect my model number 62 but classifies it as IVYTOWN instead of IVY_BRIDGE due to the definition in enum SupportedCPUModels . I swapped the definition of IVY_BRIDGE and IVYTOWN in SupportedCPUModels (IVY_BRIDGE=62, IVYTOWN =58) so that it that correctly identifies the architecture too.
Now when pcm-numa.x calls initUncoreObjects() function, I get the following error:
"Can not read memory controller counter information from PCI configuration space. Access to memory bandwidth counters is not possible.You must be root to access these SandyBridge/IvyBridge/Haswell counters in PCM."
I am not running pcm-numa.x with root access but I do have R/W access to MSR registers. Can you advise on this?
Is there a difference between offcore and uncore events? As I understand anything that any function which is not on the core is Uncore/Offcore e.g. L3/LLC etc? However, Intel lists OFFCORE_RESPONSE_X and uncore events separately. Is it different to program an uncore event than an offcore? As given in pcm-numa.x, OFFCORE_RESPONSE_X for IvyTown is also programmed using event select registers and MSRs.
The uncore and offcore response events are counted in different performance monitoring units (PMUs). The offcore response events are programmed in the core PMU.
pcm-numa uses the offcore response events, so the lack of access to the uncore PMUs should not result in an issue.
Best regards,
