Conflicts

1

The number of 64K
aliasing conflicts. A
memory reference
causing 64K aliasing
conflict can be
counted more than
once in this stat. The
performance penalty
resulted from
64K-aliasing conflict
can vary from being
unnoticeable to
considerable. Some
implementations of
the Pentium 4
processor family can
incur significant
penalties for loads
that alias to
preceding stores.
