[DOCS] CACHES perfctr removed? #556

Closed mknaranja closed 11 months ago

mknaranja commented 11 months ago

In https://github.com/RRZE-HPC/likwid/wiki/TutorialStart#performance-groups, I find the CACHES group counter which I assume that is not available anymore. Has this been replaced by another name (or removed)?

The CACHES group is only available on few systems. You can create it yourself for your architecture but I recommend using the individual group L2, L3 and MEM.

Ok thanks, I just thought it to be outdated. I'll close here but maybe it makes sense to add this to the documentation?

TomTheBear commented 11 months ago

I removed the CACHES group from the output in the tutorial. And added some sentences to clarify that the outputs are architecture-dependent (for Intel SandyBridge EP).
