Well, it didn't, but why not? CPU 0 MSR 0x64d value: 57a289a6 CPU 1 MSR 0x64d value: 57a28bf7 CPU 2 MSR 0x64d value: 57a28e15 CPU 3 MSR 0x64d value: 57a28f3b CPU 4 MSR 0x64d value: 57a28fe8 CPU 5 MSR 0x64d value: 57a2912a CPU 6 MSR 0x64d value: 57a2923d CPU 7 MSR 0x64d value: 57a29327 > > > if that is not the problem, please attach the output of "grep . > > > /sys/class/powercap/intel-rapl*/name" in both cases. Here's the "3 counters case" (same running kernel as above): $ sudo egrep -r . /sys/class/powercap/intel-rapl*/name /sys/class/powercap/intel-rapl:0:0/name:core /sys/class/powercap/intel-rapl:0:1/name:uncore /sys/class/powercap/intel-rapl:0/name:package-0 /sys/class/powercap/intel-rapl-mmio:0/name:package-0 $ -Kenny -- Kenneth R.
