MPAM PE-side Bandwidth Controls ID Register
Indicates the supported PE-side memory bandwidth parameter values.
This register is present only when FEAT_MPAM_PE_BW_CTRL is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to MPAMBWIDR_EL1 are UNDEFINED.
MPAMBWIDR_EL1 is a 64-bit register.

Indicates whether hardware support for auto-scaling of MPAMBWn_ELx.MAX, MPAMBWSM_EL1.MAX and MPAMBWCAP_EL2.CAP limits is available.
The value of this field is an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED choice of:
| HAS_HW_SCALE | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0b0 |
Hardware support for auto-scaling is not implemented. |
| 0b1 |
Hardware support for auto-scaling is implemented. |
Access to this field is RO.
Reserved, RES0.
Indicates the implemented maximum-bandwidth limit partitioning behaviors.
The value of this field is an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED choice of:
| MAX_LIM | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0b00 |
Both soft limit and hard limit behaviors are implemented. |
| 0b01 |
Soft limit behavior is implemented. |
| 0b10 |
Hard limit behavior is implemented. |
| 0b11 |
Reserved. |
Access to this field is RO.
Reserved, RES0.
Indicates the number of implemented bits in the bandwidth allocation fields MPAMBWn_ELx.MAX, MPAMBWSM_EL1.MAX and MPAMBWCAP_EL2.CAP.
The value of this field is an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED choice of:
| BWA_WD | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0b000001..0b010000 |
Number of implemented bits in the bandwidth allocation fields. |
Access to this field is RO.
