(floating-point unit) stalls

% Core cycles due to this thread

Percentage of cycles lost due to branch misprediction or interruption flush.

Percentage of stall cycles lost due to DCACHE and DTLB stalls.

Percentage of cycles lost due to stalls in RSE spilling/filling registers to/from memory.

Percentage of stall cycles due to FPU and register dependency stalls. It excludes FR/FR dependency stalls.

Percentage of cycles lost due to register load stalls. It includes FR/FR dependency stalls.

Percentage of cycles lost due to FR/FR or FR/load dependency stalls.

Percentage of cycles lost due to GR/load dependency stalls.

Percentage of cycles lost due to L1D cache and L1/L2 DTLB.

Percentage of cycles lost due to register dependency stalls. It exclude FR/FR dependency stalls.

Percentage of cycles lost due to GR/GR dependency stalls.

Percentage of cycles lost due to floating-point unit stalls.

This indicates the percentage of available processor cycles that the measured process consumed. The other processor cycles were consumed by other process(es) running in the core's other hyperthread or were lost to HyperThreading overhead.
