Capture values from hardware event monitors

RapiTime, an integral part of the MACH¹⁷⁸ solution, lets you capture and view values from hardware event monitors on your hardware, which helps you understand the types of operations performed by your application, such as:

• L1/L2 Cache Accesses
• L1/L2 Cache Misses
• Main Memory Accesses
• Shared Bus accesses
• Number of instructions executed
• CPU Cycles
• Unaligned accesses

Collecting values from hardware event monitors helps you understand your system's behavior in more detail, and is especially important in supporting multicore timing analysis. Using RVS, you can define success criteria for your multicore tests that validate expected observations from hardware event monitors during multicore test execution.
