Negative Contributing Factors to CPU Score 
The CPU Subsystem Score is based on CPU utilization, load balancing, and performance 
of the processors on the node. Example 4-35 is a detailed report displaying the 
negative factors that contribute to the CPU subsystem score.

NEGATIVE CONTRIBUTING FACTORS: 
 Hi Swap - Swap Rate Greater Than Limit  Memory - Memory Shortage 
 Mem/Tr. - Memory and Transient Problem  Trans. - Transient Problem 
 Disp.  - Dispatch Problem    OofBal - CPU Out of Balance 
 Overbsy - CPU Overbusy Problem 
Notes on CPU Subsystem Score: Good = 90% thru 100% 
     Fair =  75% thru 89% 
     Poor =  1% thru 74% 
(1) 
Detail Negative Contributing Factors to CPU Score: Shows how the 
CPU subsystem score is degraded from 100% to the final resulting 
score due to the problems detected. These problems are represented 
by the following negative factors: 
(2) 
Hi Swap: CPUs that have a swap rate greater than the limit swap rate for 
this CPU type. A negative score gets added to the score according to 
how high above the limit the swap rate is. 
(3) 
Memory, Mem/Tr., or Trans: Based on the swap rate and the transient 
rate of the CPU, memory shortage and/or transient problems are 
detected. The score is subtracted according to how severe the 
problems are.
