View events

To view Perf event counts:

  • For Linaro MAP, see the Metrics view (Metrics view) under the Linux Perf CPU events preset.

    You can view the total number of events (over the entire program, or just within a selected time range) in the tooltip of the legend.

  • In Linaro Performance Reports, see the CPU Metrics section of the report.

All Perf metrics are reported as events per second with a suitable SI prefix (such as, K, M, G) that is automatically determined.

The default values that are reported are the mean of means:

  • The mean value is taken across all processes for each sample (averaging across processes).

  • The mean value is taken of those per-sample results (averaging across time).
