5:0 Event Selection
This field specifies the basic PCI bus transaction or PCI bus signal to be monitored.
All other encodings are reserved.
NOTE:1. Counting data cycles is undefined for this selection.
2.5.4 GXB
2.5.4.1 AGP_PMD_0,1: AGP Performance Monitor Data Registers
Function Number: BFN+1
Address Offset: 50h, 58h Size: 64 bits
Default Value: 0 Attribute: Read/Write
Sticky: No Locked: No
This counter may be configured to track AGP bus events as well as events internal to the GXB.
Event detection may be configured to increment a counter, affect performance monitoring pins, and
issue an interrupt request on counter overflow.
The value written to this address, loads the counter and is also saved in a reload register. Each
counter can be configured to reload the data.
The AGP_G_PMD register holds the performance monitoring count value. 39-bits of the counter
are used for event counting, the 40th-bit is used as a overflow detection bit. The 39-bit count value
allows up to 70 minutes of event collection at 133 MHz. Event selection is controlled by the PMC
registers.
Each counter may be stopped/started independently, using the controls available in the associated
PMD register.
