Following table shows the CPU performance metrics

Table 2. Core CPU Metrics
CPU Metric Description
Core Effective Frequency Core Effective Frequency (without halted cycles) over the sampling period, reported in GHz. The metric is based on APERF and MPERF MSRs. MPERF is incremented by the core at the P0 state frequency while the core is in C0 state. APERF is incremented in proportion to the actual number of core cycles while the core is in C0 state.
IPC Instructions Retired Per Cycle (IPC) is the average number of instructions retired per cycle. This is measured using Core PMC events PMCx0C0 [Retired Instructions] and PMCx076 [CPU Clocks not Halted]. These PMC events are counted in both OS and User mode.
CPI Cycles Per Instruction Retired (CPI) is the multiplicative inverse of IPC metric. This is one of the basic performance metrics indicating how cache misses, branch mis-predictions, memory latencies, and other bottlenecks are affecting the execution of an application. Lower CPI value is better.
L1_DC_REFILLS_ALL (PTI) The number of demand data cache (DC) fills per thousand retired instructions. These demand DC fills are from all the data sources like LocalL2/L3 cache, remote caches, local memory, and remote memory.
L1_DC_MISSES(PTI) The number of L2 cache access requests due to L1 data cache misses, per thousand retired instructions. This L2 cache access requests also includes the hardware and software prefetches.
L1_DC_ACCESS_RATE The DC access rate is the number of DC accesses divided by the total number of retired instructions
L1_DC_MISS_RATE TheDC miss rate is the number of DC misses divided by the total number of retired instructions.
L1_DC_MISS_RATIO The DC miss ratio is the number of DC misses divided by the total number of DC accesses.
RETIRED_BR_INST_MISP_R ATIO This metric is computed as the retired mis-predicted branches divided by the total number of retired branch instructions.
RETIRED_BR_INST_RATE The number of retired branch instructions rate. This metric is computed as the retired branches divided by the total number of retired instructions.
RETIRED_BR_INST_MISP_R ATE This metric is computed as retired mis-predicted branches divided by the total number of retired instructions.
RETIRED_TAKEN_BR_INST (PTI) The number of retired taken branches per thousand instructions.
RETIRED_TAKEN_BR_INST_ RATE The number of retired taken branches rate. This metric is computed as the retired taken branches divided by the total number of retired instructions.
RETIRED_TAKEN_BR_INST_ MISP (PTI) The number of retired mis-predicted taken branches per thousand instructions.
RETIRED_INDIRECT_BR_IN ST_MISP (PTI) The number of retired indirect branches per thousand instructions.
RETIRED_NEAR_RETURNS (PTI) The number of retired near branches per thousand instructions.
RETIRED_NEAR_RETURNS_ MISP (PTI) The number of retired mis-predicted near branches per thousand instructions.
RETIRED_NEAR_RETURNS_ MISP_RATE This metric is computed as the retired mis-predicted near returns divided by the total number of retired instructions.
RETIRED_NEAR_RETURNS_ MISP_RATIO This metric is computed as retired mis-predicted near returns divided by the total number of retired return instructions.
L1_DTLB_MISS_RATE The DTLB L1 miss rate is the number of DTLB L1 misses divided by the total number of retired instructions.
L2_DTLB_MISS_RATE TheL2 DTLB miss rate is the number of L2 DTLB misses divided by the total number of retired instructions.
L1_ITLB_MISS_RATE The ITLB L1 miss rate is the number of ITLB L1_Miss_L2_Hits and L1_Miss_L2_Missdivided by the total number of retired instructions.
L2_ITLB_MISS_RATE The ITLB L2 miss rate is the number of ITLB L2 miss divided by the total number of retired instructions.
MISALIGNED_LOADS_RATI O The misalign ratio is the number of misaligned loads divided by the total number of DC accesses.
MISALIGNED_LOADS_RATE The misalign rate is the number of misaligned loads divided by the total number of retired instructions.
STLI_OTHER

Store-to-load conflicts:A load was unable to complete due to a non- forwardable conflict with an older store. Most commonly, a load's address range partially but not completely overlaps with an uncompleted older store. Software can avoid this problem by using the same size and alignment loads and stores when accessing the data.

Vector/SIMD code is particularly susceptible to this problem; software should construct wide vector stores by manipulating the vector elements in the registers using shuffle/blend/swap instructions prior to storing to the memory, instead of using narrow element-by-element stores.
