Subject: Re: [PATCH -tip] perf_counter tools: shorten names for events
Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2009 21:34:50 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ada7hz1lymt.fsf@cisco.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1245904175.3022.4.camel@localhost.localdomain> (Jaswinder Singh Rajput's message of "Thu, 25 Jun 2009 09:59:35 +0530")

 >   L1-instruction-Cache-Load-Reference           [Hardware cache event]

obvious place to start is to change "data-Cache" and "instruction-Cache"
to "dcache" and "icache" which are still easy to figure out without
needing to look anything up.  And "Reference" can become "ref" with
minimal loss of clarity too.  So we could get down to

    L1-icache-load
    L1-icache-load-miss
    L1-icache-store-miss
    L1-icache-prefetch
    L1-icache-prefetch-miss

and so on.

 >   Data-TLB-Cache-Load-Reference                 [Hardware cache event]

Could become

    dTLB-load
    dTLB-load-miss
    iTLB-load

etc.
