The following figure shows metric sets for the AI Engine (core) module, the memory module, and the interface module. These metric sets are mutually exclusive. A metric from one module type (for example, AI Engine) can be used in a combination with a metric from another module type (for example, memory), based on the requirements of your design. Initially, AMD recommends that you use the heat_map metric for the AI Engine module and conflicts metric for memory modules. These settings are specified at run-time and therefore, you can run them as many times as you would like with your preferences. However, some of these metrics sets are interconnected because some use group events and others use individual events. For example, the heat_map metric set contains a metric that groups all kinds of stall events in a single metric along with other metrics that group data transfer events (load/store, streams, cascade, etc,) and vector instructions. To get a better view of which stall type(s) are prevalent, re-run with the stalls metric set. To better understand execution, re-run with the execution metric set.
