Instruction Count (instruction_counts)

Counter Any

Encoding 0000012

Counts the number of committed instructions. For user or system mode counts, this counter is exact. Combined with the cycle_counts, it provides instructions per cycle.

IPC = instruction_counts / cycle_counts

If Instruction_counts and cycle_counts are both collected for user or system mode, IPC in user or system mode can be derived.

Counts the committed load/store instructions. Also counts atomic load-store instructions.

Branch Instruction Count (branch_instructions)
