Metric Description

This metric does a rough estimation of how often L1D Fill Buffer unavailability limited additional L1D miss memory access requests to proceed. The higher the metric value, the deeper the memory hierarchy level the misses are satisfied from. Often it hints on approaching bandwidth limits (to L2 cache, L3 cache or external memory).

Possible Issues

This metric does a rough estimation of how often L1D Fill Buffer unavailability limited additional L1D miss memory access requests to proceed. The higher the metric value, the deeper the memory hierarchy level the misses are satisfied from. Often it hints on approaching bandwidth limits (to L2 cache, L3 cache or external memory). Avoid adding software prefetches if indeed memory BW limited.
