Hi,

I think that the format you are using is not correct.

To profile event 0xXXX with unit mask YY, the format is rX0000YYXX, so =
in your case: r1000002e0.

Also, beware that the unitmask in the documentation tells you the _bit(=
s)_ that need to be set.
So :
  From Local Node to Node 0 =3D r1000001e0
  From Local Node to Node 1 =3D r1000002e0
  From Local Node to Node 2 =3D r1000004e0
  From Local Node to Node 3 =3D r1000008e0
  From Local Node to Node 4 =3D r1000010e0
  From Local Node to Node 0 & 1 & 2 =3D r1000007e0
  etc.


Cheers,
Baptiste.
