Example (see Figure 28 (page 274))MP blade utilization by processing types
indicates that 16.4% of the CPU cycles are utilized to process
the consumers requests. For more information, see “Viewing top
20 consumers of an MP blade” (page 272).
The above data helps you to understand the extent of an MP blade utilization by a particular
processing type when compared to the average utilization by all the processing types for the overall
duration.
