TITLE: Front End Bandwidth Limited Due To Supply Out Of The DSB

ISSUE_NAME: Frontend^FE_bandwidth^DSB

DESCRIPTION:

Cycles the front end was bound on bandwidth supply out of DSB

RELEVANCE:

When the front end cannot deliver enough uops when the back end is requesting uops, this can potentially indicate a front end limitation which is affecting performance.  With this metric, the limited bandwidth is due to limitations in the DSB being unable to supply 4 uops in a particular cycle.  Recommendation is to look into the other DSB metrics to root cause the issue.
