2.1.3.2 Estimated MSU Consumption of non-z/OS Workloads


The Estimated MSU Consumption Rate Report analyzes HARCPU
data collected from non-z/OS workloads and calculates the max
MSU consumption rate, average MSU consumption rate, and the
MSU four-hour rolling average.

When analyzing HARCPU data at the detail level timespan, this
query calculates and reports the estimated maximum MSU
consumption rate, estimated average MSU consumption rate,
estimated MSU four-hour rolling average, and the CEC Capacity
In MSUs.

Note: At higher timespans you lose the ability to calculate a
MSU four-hour rolling average. Therefore, this element will
be dropped from the report.

ESTIMATED MSU CONSUMPTION RATE REPORT

To help you better understand the graphs and reports produced
by this query, definitions and calculations for the graphed
variables follow:

CEC          The number of service units(expressed in
CAPACITY     millions of service units per hour, MSUs)
IN MSUs:     available to the partition, i.e. the LP CPU
             capacity.

ESTIMATED    Contains the four-hour rolling average number
AVERAGE MSU  of service units consumed (expressed in MSU's)
CONSUMPTION  by the partition during the CA MICS reporting
RATE:        interval.

  MSUPCBSY = (CPUNOCPU/PRSMNOPP)*(CPUPCBSY/100)*MODMSU

      where: CPUNOCPU is the total dispatch time of all
                      processors assigned to the partition

             PRSMNOPP is the physical CPU adjustment factor
                      used to convert CPU times to SU's

             CPUPCBSY Pct Processor Busy

             MODMSU   is the CEC Capacity In MSUs

ESTIMATED    Contains the maximum value of the four-hour
MAX. MSU     rolling average number of service units consumed
CONSUMPTION  (expressed in MSU's) by the partition, during
RATE:        the CA MICS reporting interval.

  MSUMXPBS = (CPUNOCPU/PRSMNOPP)*(CPUMXPBS/100)*MODMSU

      where: CPUNOCPU The number of processors present in the
                      configuration (online or offline) at
                      the end of the measurement interval.
                      This represents only tightly-coupled
                      CPU's and has a value of 1 for a UP,
                      2 for MP/AP and dyadic, 4 for tetradic.

             PRSMNOPP is the number of physical processors
                      assigned for use by PR/SM.

             CPUMXPBS is the maximum percent busy for the
                      processors at any time during the
                      reporting interval.

             MODMSU   is the CEC Capacity In MSUs
