3-23
Detail Section
The summary and detail optional sections for the other classes are in the same format as
the SYSTEM class.
(1) Busy Distribution Analysis: The Busy Distribution Analysis gives a breakdown
in descending order of each process name’s CPU utilization. Note that the
percentages total 99% so that the percentages are within the class, and are not for
the total system.
(2) Send Distribution Analysis: The Send Distribution Analysis is a breakdown by
process name of the percentage of total messages sent by the class.
(3) Receive Distribution Analysis: The Receive Distribution Analysis is similar to
the Send Distribution Analysis except that it reports messages received by the
class.
(4) Queue Distribution Analysis: The Queue Distribution Analysis is a breakdown
of a class by process name showing the relative length of time messages spent
waiting in queue. (See the Glossary
for a definition of a process’s queue length.)
(5) Percentages less than 1% are omitted from the GPA output for readability;
however, they are reflected in the totals.
