Is it possible for users to request vPMU/arch_perfmon feature on GCP instances for profiling purpose?

I asked the PCM community here (https://github.com/opcm/pcm/discussions/257) and they thought this might be the only solution to get PCM running on GCP. Anyone can help?


Accordingly to the GitHub discussion:

GCP needs to enable arch_perfmon/vPMU feature to allow collection of core perfmon counters. AWS did it for some virtualized instances and PCM works on those:

C5 (including c5n and c5dn): 9xlarge, 12xlarge, 18xlarge, 24xlarge M5 (including m5n, m5dn, m5zn): 12xlarge, 24xlarge R5 (including r5n, r5dn, r5b): 8xlarge, 12xlarge
