Uncore PMUs on Xeon E5000 processors

[Anikaushik]

Hello,

I have a Xeon E5645 system and I am curious if there exist PMUs to monitor memory controller events. There seems to be very good and extensive documentation  for E5-2600 family. From the datasheet files for the E5000 family, there does not seem to be any mention of uncore PMUs.

Looking forward to your feedback. 

Thanks,

You can try PCM.

You can get it from https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-performance-counter-monitor-a-better-way-to-measure-cpu-utilization.
