[PerfSuite-users] Re: PerfSuite problem - multiplexing not working?

[<rk...@nc...>]

p.s. Kursad, there is something else that I thought might be useful
to mention: even though the Pentium 4 has 18 counters, multiplexing
may still be enabled even when counting less than 18 events.  That's
because the counters are not symmetric - they cannot all count the
same events.  Additionally, some events require two counters (for
example, retired floating point instructions), so that takes up
additional resources.   If you get an output XML document, you can
check whether multiplexing was enabled either directly (it's listed
as one of the element attributes) or in the psprocess report.
