24.3.3
This section describes the PMCs in detail.
24.3.3.1
PMC0–PMC9 are used to count events selected by the performance monitor local control registers. PMC0,
shown in
clock cycles. PMC0 upper represents the upper 32 bits of counter 0, and PMC0 lower represents the lower
32 bits.

Performance Monitor Counters (PMC0–PMC9)
Because accessing a PMC manually has priority over incrementing it due to
event counting, writing a PMC while it is counting may affect the count.
Likewise, writing a performance monitor control register while its target
counter is counting may also affect the count.

Threshold and burstiness multiplier. Threshold events are counted when the event duration
exceeds a specified threshold value. The threshold is scaled based on the TBMULT
settings.TBMULT is not used to scale the threshold value for quantity threshold events. The burst
distance for burstiness counting is also scaled using the TBMULT settings. For all events that scale
the threshold, the threshold field is multiplied by the factors shown below (ranging from 1 to 128).

Threshold. Only events whose (number of) occurrences exceed this value are counted. By varying
the threshold value, software can characterize the events subject to the threshold. For example, if
PMC2 counts eTSEC BD read latencies for which the duration exceeds the threshold, software can
obtain the distribution of eTSEC BD read latencies for a given program by monitoring the program
using various threshold values.
