Memory Request Global Counter (PWM_TOTAL_REQCOUNT_0_0_0_MCHBAR) – Offset D840
Counts every 64B memory read and write request entering the Memory Controller to DRAM (sum of all channels).
Each write request counts as a new request incrementing this counter.
However, same-cache-line write requests (both full and partial) are combined to a single 64-byte data transfer to DRAM.
Therefore multiplying the number of requests by 64-bytes will lead to inaccurate memory bandwidth.
The inaccuracy is proportional to the number of same-cache-line writes.
If a SOC has multiple MCs instantiated, all instances of this counter will need to be added together to get total memory request bandwidth.
