This metric estimates fraction of cycles the CPU performance
was potentially limited due to Core computation issues (non
divider-related). Two distinct categories can be attributed
into this metric: (1) heavy data-dependency among contiguous
instructions would manifest in this metric - such cases are
often referred to as low Instruction Level Parallelism
(ILP). (2) Contention on some hardware execution unit other
than Divider. For example; when there are too many multiply
operations.. Loop Vectorization -most compilers feature
auto-Vectorization options today- reduces pressure on the
execution ports as multiple elements are calculated with
same uop."""

This category represents fraction of slots utilized by
useful work i.e. issued uops that eventually get retired.
Ideally; all pipeline slots would be attributed to the
Retiring category. Retiring of 100% would indicate the
maximum Pipeline_Width throughput was achieved. Maximizing
Retiring typically increases the Instructions-per-cycle (see
IPC metric). Note that a high Retiring value does not
necessary mean there is no room for more performance. For
example; Heavy-operations or Microcode Assists are
categorized under Retiring. They often indicate suboptimal
performance and can often be optimized or avoided. . A high
Retiring value for non-vectorized code may be a good hint
for programmer to consider vectorizing his code. Doing so
essentially lets more computations be done without
significantly increasing number of instructions thus
improving the performance."""

1 or less should be expected for decently optimized code
running on Intel Core/Xeon products. While this often
