Node Characteristics
The Node Characteristics subsection of the GPA report for \NODEA (Example 4-1)
shows the following:
• The node has a total of 4 processors, 32 megabytes of memory, and 9 disk
volumes.
• There were 264 static (steady-state) processes and 11 dynamic (transient)
processes on the node during the measurement period.
• The most utilized processor is CPU 1, the least utilized processor is CPU 3, and
the average processor busy time is 36.2 percent.
• The average disk volume busy time is 2.8 percent and the average disk process
busy time is 3.3 percent.
• The system resources are being utilized at 55.7 percent of the maximum
recommended level.
The data indicate that this is a small- to moderate-sized system running at well below
the maximum recommended level.
