Peak Processor Utilization, Total – with Trend Projections
Monthly Peak Processor Utilization and Trending Graph.
The Peak Processor Utilization graph shows the average total peak processor utilization per
month of the last 13 months, and provides you with a growth trend. It also shows you how the
workload changes during a year.
The symbols used on this graph are explained as follows:
The forward slash (green) in the bottom of the graph shows the level of processor
utilization that is considered acceptable.
The crosshatch (yellow) in the middle of the graph shows the level of processor utilization
that is considered marginal.
The backward slash (red) at the top of the graph shows the level of processor utilization
that is considered critical.
The black diamond shows the average of the two busiest hours per shift during the month
in CPW values.
On the trend months, the growth trend for the next 3 months is projected. The pink diamond
shows the calculated peak processor utilization based on the three last months utilization. The
blue square shows the calculated peak processor utilization based on the last six months
utilization. The yellow star shows the calculated peak processor utilization based on the last 12
months of utilization.
The recommended guidelines for marginal and critical peak percentages for the different priorities
are under the Facts heading at the bottom of the graph. The graph also indicates the number of
months before this system reaches the guideline in the different priorities.
