Intel Skylake CPU Uncore Configuration

[idata]

Hello

I want to find a way to config uncore registers in my i7 6th generation.

In document (Intel® Core™ i7 Processor Family for the LGA-2011 Socket), Uncore registers are configurable via PCI CFG.

However, in document (6th Generation Intel® Processor Datasheet for S-Platforms Vol.2), there is no mention about uncore registers.

What am I missing?

Thanks.

Hello JaemoonSim,

Thank you for joining the Processors community.

Please let me review your inquiry, as soon as I have more information I will update the thread.

/thread/112847 JaemoonSim, thank you for your patience.

The uncore management performance counters for Skylake are exposed to the operating system through the MSR interface.

More details can be found on the Intel® Software Developer System Programming Manual Vol. 3 which you can find at the following link; https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/a4/60/325384-sdm-vol-3abcd.pdf https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/a4/60/325384-sdm-vol-3abcd.pdf. Check Chapter 8.7.7 Performance Monitoring Counters.

If you have more questions, please let me know.

Regards,

Amy.

Thank you for response, Amy.

However, I've been looking for something more 'functional' configurations of uncore registers.

In Xeon series, there are pci config registers to config functions of uncore registers.

(e.g., In document Intel® Xeon® Processor E7 v2 2800/4800/8800 Product Family, Chapter 13, Processor Uncore Configuration Registers)

Isn't there anything like that in core series cpus?

Thanks again for your response and hope you write back.

I will have to check that and let you know if there is something like that from our end.

I would like to let you know that after reviewing your inquiry we have confirm that there is no other information apart from what is already mentioned in our datasheet.
