[perfmon2] L1 data cache misses on Pentium 4

[Kenneth H. <ken...@ug...>]

Hello,

I know this has come up before on this list, but this time I'm  
determined to solve this mystery :-)

Could somebody point me to some documentation or previous attemps to  
get reasonable counts for L1 data cache misses on Pentium4?
I'd like to see what people have tried in the past, what their  
reasoning was and why they concluded the counts they were getting were  
wrong...

That way, I can see where the errors have slipped in (maybe in the  
Intel documentation itself, as it was the case with the  
instr_completed event).

greetings,

Kenneth
