Process and Busy Distribution Analyses
Process and Busy Distribution Analyses
The Process and Busy Distribution Analyses section of the report (Example 3-5) is 
broken into two parts, which give you an overview of how the system is being utilized 
by class of process and by CPU. 
Example 3-4. System Performance Score
IV. SYSTEM PERFORMANCE SCORE
 1. CPU SUBSYSTEM 1%
 2. MEMORY SUBSYSTEM 1%
 3. DISK CACHE SUBSYSTEM 83%
 4. DISK VOLUME SUBSYSTEM 9%
 5. SYSTEM RECOVERY PERFORMANCE 52%
 *6. WEIGHTED ANALYSIS SYSTEM SCORE 1%
 * Average Score rated: BEST = 100, WORST = 0.

(1) 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.
