need help to understand "CPU Util" number reported by glance

  • Follow


Hi

On a 4 CPU HP-UX (B.11.23) box when I type "glance", the "CPU Util
(400% max)" column shows 2 numbers separated by "/", for example
"1.5/0.4" or "0.0/0.3". For some processes the first number is equal
to or bigger than the second number while for other processes the
first number is smaller.

My question is - what do the first number and the second number mean?

Thanks a lot in advance

Using HELP mentions:

* PROC_CPU_TOTAL_UTIL
   THREAD_CPU_TOTAL_UTIL
* PROC_CPU_TOTAL_UTIL_CUM
   THREAD_CPU_TOTAL_UTIL_CUM

These two may be what's separated by the "/"?

Or to put it in simpler terms, the number before the "/" is the 
instantaneous value (what was measured in the last 5 secs) while the number 
after the "/" is the cumulative or average value (since the process and/or 
Glance started, or since you pressed the 'z' key).
