Overview CPU Info

The Overview CPU Info charts various values pertaining to a CPU.

Place the mouse over the Bar to see the actual value. Several bars are hot spots jump for additional information about a particular value. For example, pressing the Comp Traps/Sec button and clicking on a bar will jump to the Processes / Process Entity screen and configure a process entity measurement to display the highest generators of Comp Traps (Computational TrapsAlso known as Computational Traps is the situation when memory is accessed and the data is not "well aligned". Well aligned data is located at a multiple of the size of the field. For example, a 32-bit value is four bytes, so the address of the value should be evenly divisible by four otherwise a Comp Trap occurs on access. A Comp Trap indicates that the system had to perform extra work in order to process the exception. Generally speaking, 16-bit programs always cause Comp Traps and 32-bit programs ideally have zero to very few Comp Traps.) in the particular CPU.
