366average number of instructions decoded each cycle.
367If this number is less
368than four and the pipe stalls, this indicates that the decoder is failing to
369decode enough instructions per cycle to sustain the 4-wide pipeline.

1183reasons, one of which is a partial flag register stall.
1184A partial register
1185stall may occur when two conditions are met: 1) an instruction modifies
1186some, but not all, of the flags in the flag register and 2) the next
1187instruction, which depends on flags, depends on flags that were not modified
1188by this instruction.

1191This event counts the number of cycles instruction execution latency became

1197not allow new micro-ops to enter the out-of-order pipeline.
1198Note that, at
1199this stage in the pipeline, additional stalls may occur at the same cycle
1200and prevent the stalled micro-ops from entering the pipe.
1201In such a case,
1202micro-ops retry entering the execution pipe in the next cycle and the
1203ROB-read port stall is counted again.
1204.It Li RAT_STALLS.SCOREBOARD
1205.Pq Event D2H , Umask 08H

1213execution pipe.
1214Cycles when partial register stalls occurred Cycles when
1215flag stalls occurred Cycles floating-point unit (FPU) status word stalls
1216occurred.
1217To count each of these conditions separately use the events:

1219RAT_STALLS.FPSW.

1221.Pq Event D4H , Umask 01H
1222Counts the number of stall cycles due to the lack of renaming resources for
1223the ES, DS, FS, and GS segment registers.

1225retired and a second update to the same segment occurs, a stall occurs in
1226the front- end of the pipeline until the renamed segment retires.
1227.It Li ES_REG_RENAMES
1228.Pq Event D5H , Umask 01H
1229Counts the number of times the ES segment register is renamed.

1244corrected by the Branch Address Calculator at the front end.
1245This can occur
1246if the code has many branches such that they cannot be consumed by the BPU.
1247Each BACLEAR asserted by the BAC generates approximately an 8 cycle bubble
1248in the instruction fetch pipeline.
1249The effect on total execution time depends on the surrounding code.
1250.It Li BACLEAR.BAD_TARGET
1251.Pq Event E6H , Umask 02H
1252Counts number of Branch Address Calculator clears (BACLEAR) asserted due to
1253conditional branch instructions in which there was a target hit but the
1254direction was wrong.
1255Each BACLEAR asserted by the BAC generates
1256approximately an 8 cycle bubble in the instruction fetch pipeline.
