364average number of instructions decoded each cycle.
365If this number is less
366than four and the pipe stalls, this indicates that the decoder is failing to
367decode enough instructions per cycle to sustain the 4-wide pipeline.
368If SSE* instructions that are 6 bytes or longer arrive one after another,
369then front end throughput may limit execution speed.

1181reasons, one of which is a partial flag register stall.
1182A partial register
1183stall may occur when two conditions are met: 1) an instruction modifies
1184some, but not all, of the flags in the flag register and 2) the next
1185instruction, which depends on flags, depends on flags that were not modified
1186by this instruction.

1188.Pq Event D2H , Umask 02H
1189This event counts the number of cycles instruction execution latency became

1191was partially written by previous instruction.
1192.It Li RAT_STALLS.ROB_READ_PORT

1194Counts the number of cycles when ROB read port stalls occurred, which did
1195not allow new micro-ops to enter the out-of-order pipeline.
1196Note that, at
1197this stage in the pipeline, additional stalls may occur at the same cycle
1198and prevent the stalled micro-ops from entering the pipe.
1199In such a case,
1200micro-ops retry entering the execution pipe in the next cycle and the
1201ROB-read port stall is counted again.
1202.It Li RAT_STALLS.SCOREBOARD
1203.Pq Event D2H , Umask 08H

1211execution pipe.
1212Cycles when partial register stalls occurred Cycles when
1213flag stalls occurred Cycles floating-point unit (FPU) status word stalls
1214occurred.
1215To count each of these conditions separately use the events:

1217RAT_STALLS.FPSW.
1218.It Li SEG_RENAME_STALLS
1219.Pq Event D4H , Umask 01H
1220Counts the number of stall cycles due to the lack of renaming resources for
1221the ES, DS, FS, and GS segment registers.

1223retired and a second update to the same segment occurs, a stall occurs in
1224the front- end of the pipeline until the renamed segment retires.
1225.It Li ES_REG_RENAMES
1226.Pq Event D5H , Umask 01H
1227Counts the number of times the ES segment register is renamed.

1241Branch Prediction Unit cannot provide a correct prediction and this is
1242corrected by the Branch Address Calculator at the front end.
1243This can occur
1244if the code has many branches such that they cannot be consumed by the BPU.
1245Each BACLEAR asserted by the BAC generates approximately an 8 cycle bubble
1246in the instruction fetch pipeline.
1247The effect on total execution time depends on the surrounding code.
1248.It Li BACLEAR.BAD_TARGET
1249.Pq Event E6H , Umask 02H
1250Counts number of Branch Address Calculator clears (BACLEAR) asserted due to
1251conditional branch instructions in which there was a target hit but the
1252direction was wrong.
1253Each BACLEAR asserted by the BAC generates
1254approximately an 8 cycle bubble in the instruction fetch pipeline.
