The first step to any processor analysis is to understand your processor configuration and settings. The second step is to understand what workloads, address spaces, and transactions are consuming the fixed processor resource. It is only after understanding what and how the processor is being consumed can you conduct any sort of processor tuning or optimization exercise.
During this presentation Peter Enrico will touch on a number of different areas of interest related to analysis of processor resource consumption analysis. You will be provided with a top down approach to better understand processor measurements available to help you gain a drilldown insight into how the CPU resource is being consumed, and by what LPARs, Workloads, and transactions. Shown is what is known as a drill down approach for a processor performance analysis.
