hardware-counters

Hardware performance counter skill for low-level CPU analysis. Use when collecting PMU events with perf stat, using the PAPI library, measuring cache miss rates and branch misprediction ratios, computing IPC, or correlating PMU events to source lines. Activates on queries about hardware counters, PMU events, perf stat -e, PAPI, cache miss rate, branch misprediction, IPC measurement, or CPU performance events.
