4 | NAME | |
5 | ---- | |
6 | perf-mem - Profile memory accesses | |
7 | ||
8 | SYNOPSIS | |
9 | -------- | |
10 | [verse] | |
11 | 'perf mem' [<options>] (record [<command>] | report) | |
12 | ||
13 | DESCRIPTION | |
14 | ----------- | |
15 | "perf mem -t <TYPE> record" runs a command and gathers memory operation data | |
16 | from it, into perf.data. Perf record options are accepted and are passed through. | |
17 | ||
18 | "perf mem -t <TYPE> report" displays the result. It invokes perf report with the | |
19 | right set of options to display a memory access profile. | |

21 | Note that on Intel systems the memory latency reported is the use-latency, |
22 | not the pure load (or store latency). Use latency includes any pipeline | |
23 | queueing delays in addition to the memory subsystem latency. | |

25 | OPTIONS |
26 | ------- | |
27 | <command>...:: | |
28 | Any command you can specify in a shell. | |

31 | --type=:: | |
32 | Select the memory operation type: load or store (default: load) | |
33 | ||
34 | -D:: | |
35 | --dump-raw-samples=:: | |
36 | Dump the raw decoded samples on the screen in a format that is easy to parse with | |
37 | one sample per line. | |
38 | ||
39 | -x:: | |
40 | --field-separator:: | |
41 | Specify the field separator used when dump raw samples (-D option). By default, | |
42 | The separator is the space character. | |
43 | ||
44 | -C:: | |
45 | --cpu-list:: | |
46 | Restrict dump of raw samples to those provided via this option. Note that the same | |
47 | option can be passed in record mode. It will be interpreted the same way as perf | |
48 | record. | |
