Thanks!

This is done to add descriptions to the events? We can add encodings
to jevents.py and the event parsing to handle the names eventid and
type.

So hopefully the logic for this is getting clearer in the
perf-tools-next branch. When perf stat runs it will aggregate in a
number of different ways, if you pass -A it will remove the
aggregation, but you can also use --per-socket, per-die, .. The
metrics take the individual counter values, say instructions and
cycles and produce a metric like IPC. By default all the instruction
counts are aggregated together, the cycles are aggregated together and
then the metric produced on the two aggregated values. When -A or
--per-die are passed, the appropriate amount of aggregation should be
done then the metric computed multiple times.

Are you asking for a way in a metric to take counts from one die and
use them in the other's metric? For example, reads on one die are
writes on the other? This is possible as we have all the counts in the
tool. I've thought about this in the context of some metrics we have
for AMD, but there is no support for this in the tool currently.

Thanks,
Ian
