Arm Neoverse CMN-700: Performance Analysis Methodology

System performance on modern System-on-Chip (SoC) platforms is increasingly determined by behavior beyond the processing elements. While processor microarchitectures continue to deliver high instruction throughput, overall application performance is often constrained by shared system resources such as caches, memory controllers, and the coherent interconnect that connects them. On Arm Neoverse platforms, the coherent interconnect plays a central role in enabling scalable performance across CPUs,
