Processor Load Balance and Performance Charts
The next major section of the GPA report (Example 4-12 and Example 4-13) contains
two charts that give you a more detailed picture of the system based on the
performance of the system’s processors. The first chart shows you graphically how the
system load is distributed among the processors. Abnormal conditions such as a
memory shortage or excessive transient processing are also indicated here (by flags
following the CPU numbers).
The load balance chart for \NODEA (Example 4-12) shows the imbalanced condition
on this node but, more importantly, it indicates a severe memory shortage for CPU 0
and a moderate shortage for CPU 1.
