Process Distribution Analysis - Process Counts: The Process
Distribution Analysis shows the number of processes in different
classes that were running in each CPU during the measurement
period.
(2)
Busy Distribution Analysis - Percent Cpu Busy: The Busy
Distribution Analysis shows the percentage of each CPU’s time used
by each process class.
(3)
SYSTEM: The SYSTEM class consists of processes that are part of
the OSIMAGE or have an execution priority greater than 199.
(4)
SUBSYS: The SUBSYSTEM class consists of processes that are
part of the system image subvolume, $SYSTEM.SYSnn.*, and are
not TRANSIENT.
(5)
PATHWAY: The PATHWAY class consists of processes with the
filename PATHMON or PATHTCP2, and are not TRANSIENT.
(6)
SERVER: The SERVER class consists of processes that receive
messages and are not part of the SYSTEM, SUBSYSTEM,
PATHWAY, or TRANSIENT classes.
(7)
TRANSIENT: The TRANSIENT class consists of all processes that
do not exist for at least 90% of the measurement period.
(8)
OTHER: The OTHER class consists of any processes that are not
members of another class.
(9)
TOTAL: The total percentage busy for the system can be compared
with 100% for each of the CPUs in the system. In this case, there are
four CPUs, so the total available is 400%.
