SHORT Floating point exceptions EVENTSET PMC0 RETIRED_INSTRUCTIONS PMC1 RETIRED_FP_INSTRUCTIONS_ALL PMC2 FPU_EXCEPTION_ALL METRICS Runtime (RDTSC) [s] time Overall FP exception rate PMC2/PMC0 FP exception rate PMC2/PMC1 LONG Formulas: Overall FP exception rate = FPU_EXCEPTIONS_ALL / RETIRED_INSTRUCTIONS FP exception rate = FPU_EXCEPTIONS_ALL / FP_INSTRUCTIONS_RETIRED_ALL - Floating point exceptions occur e.g. on the treatment of denormal numbers. There might be a large penalty if there are too many floating point exceptions.
