UniNorth-2 (U1.5/2) Performance Counter Event List

The U1.5 and U2 North bridge chipsets contain four independent counters, each of which can count any one of 55 different types of events.

The table lists the events alphabetically by name, followed by the Event Number that must be selected to activate counting of a particular event. Some of the events are suffixed with a term in braces at the end of the event name. for example: If the term is [AGP], then the event can only occur if the AGP event source is active. If an event has no suffix, it can be generated by any active event source. The events suffixed with [Bus] are never generated by any of the sources, only by the front-side bus activities.

For more information, see “U1.5/U2 North Bridges.”
