It should work on all systems with an Intel Core (not Atom)

However it was never clear to me if the tool was any better
than simply sampling for 

mem_load_uops_l3_hit_retired.xsnp_hitm:pp    (local socket)
mem_load_uops_l3_miss_retired.remote_hitm:pp (remote socket)

which gives you instructions that reference bouncing cache lines.
