9204.0. "vmstat with 4.0: individual cpu stats reported?" by SCASS1::GROVE () Mon Mar 17 1997 13:34

    
    
    With the Digital UNIX Version 3.2* and previous releases, I understand
    that the *stat commands report the average, cumulative CPU usage for
    multi processor configurations.
    
    I was under the impression that this was due to change, perhaps with
    Digital UNIX Version 4.0?
    
    As I do not have access to a multi processor system and the Digital
    UNIX Version 4.0 documentation does not indicate if the *stat commands
    still report average, cumulative versus individual CPU usage, could
    someone please clarify?
    
    Specifically, of interest is the vmstat command.
    
    Thanks

    I don't believe anything changed in that area of vmstat for V4.0.
    I've certainly seen nothing different in its output....

    I didn't notice anything different either with vmstat.
    
    Just thought I would ask.
    
    Thanks for responding

    The graphic display of the cpuinfo command can give you a nice
    picture of the system/user/idle breakdown on each cpu. vmubc
    does something similar, I believe.
