GENERIC_EVENTS(3CPC)					  GENERIC_EVENTS(3CPC)

NAME
       generic_events - generic performance counter events

DESCRIPTION
       The  Solaris  cpc(3CPC)	subsystem  implements  a number of predefined,
       generic performance counter events. Each generic event maps onto a sin‐
       gle  platform specific event and one or more optional attributes.  Each
       hardware platform only need support  a  subset  of  the	total  set  of
       generic events.

       The defined generic events are:

       PAPI_br_cn
		       Conditional branch instructions

       PAPI_br_ins
		       Branch instructions taken

       PAPI_br_msp
		       Conditional branch instructions mispredicted

		       Conditional branch instructions correctly predicted

       PAPI_br_ucn
