Note the following:

• TCC_REQ[n] may be more than the number of requests arriving at the texture cache per channel, but it’s a good indication of the total amount of work that needs to be performed.

• For TCC_EA0_WRREQ[n], atomics may travel over the same interface and are generally classified as write requests.

• CC mtypes can produce uncached requests, and those are included in TCC_EA0_WR_UNCACHED_32B[n]

• TCC_EA0_WRREQ_LEVEL[n] is primarily intended to measure average efficiency arbiter write latency.

  • Average write latency = TCC_PERF_SEL_EA0_WRREQ_LEVEL divided by TCC_PERF_SEL_EA0_WRREQ

• TCC_EA0_ATOMIC_LEVEL[n] is primarily intended to measure average efficiency arbiter atomic latency

  • Average atomic latency = TCC_PERF_SEL_EA0_WRREQ_ATOMIC_LEVEL divided by TCC_PERF_SEL_EA0_WRREQ_ATOMIC

• TCC_EA0_RDREQ_LEVEL[n] is primarily intended to measure average efficiency arbiter read latency.

  • Average read latency = TCC_PERF_SEL_EA0_RDREQ_LEVEL divided by TCC_PERF_SEL_EA0_RDREQ

• Stalls can occur regardless of the need for a read to be performed

• Normally, stalls are measured exactly at one point in the pipeline however in the case of TCC_TAG_STALL[n], probes can stall the pipeline at a variety of places. There is no single point that can accurately measure the total stalls
