HP Caliper User's Guide

• Run status: how much time each process or thread spent running, eligible to run
but not running, and waiting (runstatus parameter)
• cpu: how much of each process or thread running time was spent on each CPU
and how often the process or thread was moved to another CPU (cpu parameter).
• io: gives a breakdown of all I/O a process or thread does, by category (10
parameter).
• System calls: the count and time spent in every system call called by a process or
thread (syscalls parameter)
The all parameter causes all four kinds of system data to be measured.
As with all HP Caliper command-line options, --system-usage= can be abbreviated
to any non-ambiguous string, and colon-separated arguments can be given in any
order.

Figure 13-2 “Example System Usage Report Output” shows some example output for
