Summary of System Resource Monitoring Tools
Compatibility With Measure
ViewSys accesses the same system tables as Measure. Because ViewSys does not write
to any of these tables, ViewSys and Measure can be run simultaneously. The impact to
Measure is limited to the resources used by the program itself. Most of the impact to
Measure is due to the interprocessor communications necessary to gather individual
processor values. A moderate amount of arithmetic and the display code is performed in
the processor in which ViewSys executes. This version of ViewSys does not depend on
Measure recorders to produce the measurement data.
