Understanding system-level processor performance

[Nathan Scott <nathans@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I recently spent some time updating the tutorial that Ken (IIRC)
originally wrote on system-level CPU performance analysis ...

http://www.pcp.io/docs/howto.cpuperf.html

Particularly, numerous updates centered on how these things work
in the Linux kernel (as opposed to other UNIX kernels documented
previously).  Over time we're planning on updating the other how-to
docs, especially the disk howto.  There's also been talk of process-
level and system-level network analysis with PCP as how-tos, maybe
even a memory-focused analysis how-to.

If anyone has suggestions and/or corrections for the above updated
processor how-to doc, or would like to contribute how-tos related to
using PCP for analysis, please let me know.

cheers.
