libcpucycles: Counters
Currently libcpucycles supports the following cycle counters. Some
cycle counters are actually other forms of counters that libcpucycles
scales to imitate a cycle counter. There is
separate documentation
for how libcpucycles makes a choice of cycle counter.
There is a cpucycles-open command that, when run as root, often
succeeds in enabling higher-quality cycle counters until reboot. See the
security considerations regarding enabling or disabling
counters and regarding overclocking (Turbo Boost, Turbo Core, etc.).
amd64-perfpmcff: Requires a 64-bit Intel platform; the Linux
perf_event interface; /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid at most 2;
any existing files among /sys/devices/{cpu,cpu_core,cpu_atom}/rdpmc at
least 2. Accesses a cycle counter through RDPMC (using Intel-specific
counter 0x40000001, which is why this ends up not running on AMD CPUs).
This counter runs at the clock frequency of the CPU core.
amd64-perfpmc: Requires a 64-bit AMD platform; the Linux perf_event
interface; /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid at most 2; any
existing files among /sys/devices/{cpu,cpu_core,cpu_atom}/rdpmc at
least 2. Accesses a cycle counter through RDPMC (using the perf_event
index); actively refuses to run on Intel (since some kernels have a
perf_event bug that returns the wrong index on E-cores). This counter
runs at the clock frequency of the CPU core.
amd64-pmcff: Requires a 64-bit Intel platform and an OS that enables
user-level RDPMC access. Accesses a cycle counter through RDPMC (using
Intel-specific counter 0x40000001, which is why this ends up not running
on AMD CPUs). This counter runs at the clock frequency of the CPU core.
amd64-tsc, amd64-tscasm: Requires a 64-bit Intel/AMD platform.
Requires RDTSC to be enabled, which it is by default. Uses RDTSC to
access the CPU's time-stamp counter. On current CPUs, this is an
off-core clock rather than a cycle counter, but it is typically a very
fast off-core clock, making it adequate for seeing cycle counts if
overclocking and underclocking are disabled. The difference between
tsc and tscasm is that tsc uses the compiler's __rdtsc() while
tscasm uses inline assembly.
arm32-cortex: Requires a 32-bit ARMv7-A platform. Uses
mrc p15, 0, %0, c9, c13, 0 to read the cycle counter. Requires user
access to the cycle counter, which is not enabled by default but can (sometimes) be
enabled under Linux via
a kernel module.
This counter is natively 32 bits, but libcpucycles watches how the
counter and gettimeofday increase to compute a 64-bit extension of the
counter.
arm32-1176: Requires a 32-bit ARM1176 platform. Uses
mrc p15, 0, %0, c15, c12, 1 to read the cycle counter. Requires user
access to the cycle counter, which is not enabled by default but can (sometimes) be
enabled under Linux via
a kernel module.
This counter is natively 32 bits, but libcpucycles watches how the
counter and gettimeofday increase to compute a 64-bit extension of the
counter.
arm64-perfpmc: Requires a 64-bit ARMv8-A platform; the Linux
perf_event interface; on current Linux kernels, 1 in
/proc/sys/kernel/perf_user_access; on older Linux kernels,
a kernel module
to enable PMCCNTR access. Uses mrs %0, PMCCNTR_EL0 to read the cycle
counter.
arm64-pmc: Requires a 64-bit ARMv8-A platform and an OS that enables
user-level PMCCNTR access, for example an older Linux kernel with
a kernel module.
Uses mrs %0, PMCCNTR_EL0 to read the cycle counter.
arm64-vct: Requires a 64-bit ARMv8-A platform. Uses
mrs %0, CNTVCT_EL0 to read a "virtual count" timer. This is an
off-core clock, typically running at 24MHz. Results are scaled by
libcpucycles.
loong64-rdtime: Requires a 64-bit LoongArch platform.
Uses rdtime.d to read the "constant frequency timer".
This is an off-core clock, typically running at 100MHz.
mips64-cc: Requires a 64-bit MIPS platform. (Maybe the same code would
also work as mips32-cc, but this has not been tested yet.) Uses RDHWR
to read the hardware cycle counter (hardware register 2 times a constant
scale factor in hardware register 3). This counter is natively 32 bits,
but libcpucycles watches how the counter and gettimeofday increase to
compute a 64-bit extension of the counter.
ppc32-mftb: Requires a 32-bit PowerPC platform. Uses mftb and
mftbu to read the "time base". This is an off-core clock, typically
running at 24MHz.
ppc64-mftb: Requires a 64-bit PowerPC platform. Uses mftb and
mftbu to read the "time base". This is an off-core clock, typically
running at 24MHz.
riscv32-perfrdcycle: Requires a 32-bit RISC-V platform; the Linux
perf_event interface; on current Linux kernels, 1 in
/proc/sys/kernel/perf_user_access. Uses rdcycle and rdcycleh to
read a cycle counter.
riscv32-rdcycle: Requires a 32-bit RISC-V platform and an OS that
enables user-level rdcycle access. Uses rdcycle and rdcycleh to
read a cycle counter.
riscv64-perfrdcycle: Requires a 64-bit RISC-V platform; the Linux
perf_event interface; on current Linux kernels, 1 in
/proc/sys/kernel/perf_user_access. Uses rdcycle to read a cycle
counter.
riscv64-rdcycle: Requires a 64-bit RISC-V platform and an OS that
enables user-level rdcycle access. Uses rdcycle to read a cycle
counter.
s390x-stckf: Requires a 64-bit z/Architecture platform. Uses stckf
to read the TOD clock, which is documented to run at 4096MHz. On the
z15, this looks like a doubling of an off-core 2048MHz clock. Results
are scaled by libcpucycles.
sparc64-rdtick: Requires a 64-bit SPARC platform. Uses rd %tick
to read a cycle counter.
x86-tsc, x86-tscasm: Same as amd64-tsc and amd64-tscasm, but
for 32-bit Intel/AMD platforms instead of 64-bit Intel/AMD platforms.
default-gettimeofday: Reasonably portable. Resolution is limited to 1
microsecond. Results are scaled by libcpucycles.
default-mach: Requires an OS with mach_absolute_time(). Typically
runs at 24MHz. Results are scaled by libcpucycles.
default-monotonic: Requires CLOCK_MONOTONIC. Reasonably portable,
although might fail on older systems where default-gettimeofday works.
Resolution is limited to 1 nanosecond. Can be almost as good as a cycle
counter, or orders of magnitude worse, depending on the OS and CPU.
Results are scaled by libcpucycles.
default-perfevent: Requires the Linux perf_event interface, and a
CPU where perf_event supports PERF_COUNT_HW_CPU_CYCLES. Similar
variations in quality to default-monotonic, without the 1-nanosecond
limitation.
default-zero: The horrifying last resort if nothing else works.
Examples
These are examples of cpucycles-info output on various machines. The
machines named cfarm* are from the
cfarm compile farm.
A median line saying, e.g., 47 +47+28+0+2-5+0+2-5... means that the
differences between adjacent cycle counts were 47+47, 47+28, 47+0, 47+2,
47−5, 47+0, 47+2, 47−5, etc., with median difference 47. The first few
differences are typically larger because of cache effects.
Current versions of libcpucycles use iqm (interquartile mean)
instead of median.
