Runtime (RDTSC) [s] time
Runtime unhalted [s] FIXC1*inverseClock
Clock [MHz]  1.E-06*(FIXC1/FIXC2)/inverseClock
CPI  PMC1/PMC0
DP [MFLOP/s]   1.0E-06*(PMC2)/time
Memory bandwidth [MBytes/s] 1.0E-06*(DFC0+DFC1)*64.0/time

Formulas:
DP [MFLOP/s] = 1.0E-06*(RETIRED_SSE_AVX_FLOPS_DOUBLE_ALL)/time
Memory bandwidth [MBytes/s] = 1.0E-06*(DRAM_CHANNEL_0+DRAM_CHANNEL_1)*64.0/runtime
Memory data volume [GBytes] = 1.0E-09*(DRAM_CHANNEL_0+DRAM_CHANNEL_1)*64.0
Operational intensity [FLOP/Byte] = RETIRED_SSE_AVX_FLOPS_DOUBLE_ALL/((DRAM_CHANNEL_0+DRAM_CHANNEL_1)*64.0)
-
Profiling group to measure memory bandwidth drawn by all cores of a socket.
Since this group is based on Uncore events it is only possible to measure on a
per socket base.
The group provides almost accurate results for the total bandwidth and data volume.
AMD describes this metric as "approximate" in the documentation for AMD Rome.
