Did you test this? IIRC if there is no number in the ScaleUnit then
the scale factor becomes 0 and the metric value is always multiplied
by zero. Perhaps:

"MetricName": "itlb_miss_rate",
"MetricExpr": "ITLB / INST_RETIRED"
"ScaleUnit": "1000MPKI"

Thanks,
Ian

You are absolutely right, I only tested TLB metrics. Sorry for not double checking. I will repost the corrected patches.

I rethought it. I want to change the ScaleUnit to "1MPKI" and keep the MetricExpr multiplied by 1000,
so that the "MetricExpr" expresses the value of per kilo instruciton, which can be consistent with the
description in "BriefDescription". Like:
   {
        "MetricExpr": "DTLB_WALK / INST_RETIRED * 1000",
        "BriefDescription": "The rate of TLB Walks per kilo instructions for data accesses",
        "MetricGroup": "TLB",
        "MetricName": "dtlb_mpki",
        "ScaleUnit": "1MPKI"
    },


In addition, I think it is more reasonable for ScaleUnit to have a default scale factor of 1 when there
is no number. I want to try to fix this bug.

Ian, what's your opnion?

I like intention revealing, itlb_mpki is something of a soup of
characters to de-acronym-ify compared to itlb_miss_rate, but rate may
not be completely intuitive in that name. I'm happy to follow your
lead. Putting the 1000 in the ScaleUnit or the expression doesn't
matter, so again happy to follow what you think is best.

Thanks,
Ian
