Process Move Recommendations
In the section of the report shown in Examples 4-24 through 4-26, GPA lists the processes
that you might move or switch to other CPUs to improve the load balance and memory
utilization on the node.
Report Considerations
No report will be produced if no candidates are found. There are no user-supplied runtime
options to initiate these reports; they are STANDARD reports.
The three standard reports are the following:
 Process Moves for Memory Imbalance
 Process Primary Switches for CPU Imbalance
 Process Moves for CPU Imbalance
In the case of \NODEA, for example, GPA has tried to free up some severely needed
memory in CPU 0 by recommending that two processes be moved as shown in
Example 4-24.

To correct a processor utilization imbalance on \NODEB (Example 4-25), GPA has
recommended that ten processes running on CPU 1 be moved and distributed as
shown among the other three processors in the system.
