Example 4-29 is a cover page to the optional report for \NODEC that shows the user’s
choice of sections. Each class chosen is listed with an entry specifying the type of
section. In the example, detailed sections are chosen for every class.

In Example 4-30, you can see that the primary and backup disk processes account for
the majority of processes for \NODEC. You can also evaluate the distribution by
scanning across the CPU columns. In this case, CPU 0 and CPU 2 have nearly twice
the number of primary disk processes as the others. You can also see that CPU 2 has
only 12 backup disk processes while CPU 1 has 31. These disk processes could be
more evenly distributed, and GPA bases some of its recommendations on this fact.
