I also looked at a list of HW events as produced by VTune: INST_RETIRED.ANY_P Number of instructions retired. General Counter - architecture event INST_RETIRED.ANY Number of instructions retired. Fixed Counter - architectural event
I still don't quite understand why I would want to use ANY (fixed) vs. ANY_P (general). Mostly because I just don't understand the suboptions for the counter.
What's the main difference?
Thanks,
Thomas Gruber

Hi,
I think the main difference is that you can use PEBS (precise event-based sampling) with the general-purpose counters, commonly with PMC0 only.
