Processor summary and processor application summary
This part of the curt command output is displayed by a processor-by-processor basis.
The same description that was given for the system summary and system application summary applies here, except that this report covers each processor rather than the whole system.
Below is a sample of this output:

The following terms are referred to in the example above:
- Total number of process dispatches
- The number of times AIX dispatched any non-IDLE process on the processor.
- Total number of idle dispatches
- The number of IDLE process dispatches.
- Total number of pthread dispatches
- The number of times the libpthreads dispatcher was executed on the processor.
- Total number of pthread idle dispatches
- The number of vp_sleep calls.
