Processor Overview (PI_PCSR)

Function

The Processor Overview (PI_PCSR) record stores the performance data per unit time on the processor's arithmetic operations, logical computation, initialization of peripheral device operations, the rate of interrupts such as process thread execution, and the time spent.

This is a multi-instance record.

% C1 Time(PCT_C1_TIME) Percentage of the time the processor was in the C1 low power consumption state (C1 state) (%).
This is a low power consumption state in which the processor maintains all contexts and can quickly return to the executing state. If the processor does not support the C1 state, this field is always 0. % float No -- --

% C2 Time(PCT_C2_TIME) Percentage of the time the processor was in the C2 low power consumption state (C2 state) (%).
This is a low power consumption state that consumes less power than the C1 state, in which the processor maintains only the system cache contexts. If the processor does not support the C2 state, this field is always 0. % float No -- --

% C3 Time(PCT_C3_TIME) Percentage of the time the processor was in the C3 low power consumption state (C3 state) (%).
This is a low power consumption state that consumes less power than the C2 state, in which the processor cannot maintain cache integrity. If the processor does not support the C3 state, this field is always 0. % float No -- --

% DPC Time(PCT_DPC_TIME) Percentage of time the processor was used for handling DPC (Delayed Procedure Call) interrupts in the privileged mode, which are executed at lower priority than the standard interrupts (%). % float No -- --

% Idle Time(PCT_IDLE_TIME) Percentage of time the processor was idle (%). % float No -- --

C1 Trans/sec(PCT_C1_TRANSITIONS_PER_SEC) Number of times the processor entered the C1 low power consumption state (C1 state) (transitions/second).
When the processor is in a sufficiently idle state, it enters the C1 state, and exits the C1 state when an interrupt occurs. If the processor does not support the C1 state, this field is always 0. % float No -- --

C2 Trans/sec(PCT_C2_TRANSITIONS_PER_SEC) Number of times the processor entered the C2 low power consumption state (C2 state) (transitions/second).
If the processor requires less power than the C1 state and is in a sufficiently idle state, it shifts from the C1 state to the C2 state, and exits the C2 state when an interrupt occurs. If the processor does not support the C2 state, this field is always 0. % float No -- --

C3 Trans/sec(PCT_C3_TRANSITIONS_PER_SEC) Number of times the processor entered the C3 low power consumption state (C3 state) (transitions/second).

Does not include DPC (Delayed Procedure Call) interrupts. Normally, if the value in this field has increased significantly when there is no system activity, it indicates a hardware problem, such as the presence of a slow device. AVG float No -- --
