13*4882a593SmuzhiyunDESCRIPTION
14*4882a593Smuzhiyun-----------
15*4882a593Smuzhiyun"perf mem record" runs a command and gathers memory operation data
16*4882a593Smuzhiyunfrom it, into perf.data. Perf record options are accepted and are passed through.
17*4882a593Smuzhiyun
18*4882a593Smuzhiyun"perf mem report" displays the result. It invokes perf report with the
19*4882a593Smuzhiyunright set of options to display a memory access profile. By default, loads
20*4882a593Smuzhiyunand stores are sampled. Use the -t option to limit to loads or stores.
21*4882a593Smuzhiyun
22*4882a593SmuzhiyunNote that on Intel systems the memory latency reported is the use-latency,
23*4882a593Smuzhiyunnot the pure load (or store latency). Use latency includes any pipeline
24*4882a593Smuzhiyunqueueing delays in addition to the memory subsystem latency.
