Problem: Can someone please help me figure out how I can view the amount of CPU cache being used? We are running into an issue where we think the CPU's cache is the problem and I need to check to see what's available/used. I've been looking and I haven't been able to find anything. Thanks everyone for all your emails! Resolution: You can download a collection of "CacheKit" scripts from http://users.tpg.com.au/adsln4yb/cachekit.html Included are three scripts you might find useful: - icache: reports on instruction cache performance - dcache: reports on data cache performance - ecache: reports on external (L2,L3) cache performance Note: you can only run one of these scripts at a time as they enable hardware counters in the CPU, which can only be enabled at most two at a time. (see man cpustat) I've found these very useful during hardware benchmarking. _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Fri Feb 17 11:12:02 2006
