"PublicDescription": "Accumulates the occupancies of the Write Pending Queue each cycle. This can then be used to calculate both the average queue occupancy (in conjunction with the number of cycles not empty) and the average latency (in conjunction with the number of allocations). The WPQ is used to schedule write out to the memory controller and to track the writes. Requests allocate into the WPQ soon after they enter the memory controller, and need credits for an entry in this buffer before being sent from the HA to the iMC. They deallocate after being issued to DRAM. Write requests themselves are able to complete (from the perspective of the rest of the system) as soon they have 'posted' to the iMC. This is not to be confused with actually performing the write to DRAM. Therefore, the average latency for this queue is actually not useful for deconstruction intermediate write latencies. So, we provide filtering based on if the request has posted or not. By using the 'not posted' filter, we can track how long writes spent in the iMC before completions were sent to the HA. The 'posted' filter, on the other hand, provides information about how much queueing is actually happening in the iMC for writes before they are actually issued to memory. High average occupancies will generally coincide with high write major mode counts.",

"PublicDescription": "Counts the number of times a request hits in the WPQ (write-pending queue). The iMC allows writes and reads to pass up other writes to different addresses. Before a read or a write is issued, it will first CAM the WPQ to see if there is a write pending to that address. When reads hit, they are able to directly pull their data from the WPQ instead of going to memory. Writes that hit will overwrite the existing data. Partial writes that hit will not need to do underfill reads and will simply update their relevant sections.",
