GRID - Host Group - CPU Capacity

This chart shows the CPU load for hosts in the host group relative to the total capacity. Load and capacity are normalized based on CPU factors that reflect the different hardware with processing capacities. The CPU factor is defined in the LSF lsf.shared configuration file and while it comes pre-populated with values for common hardware, organizations can change these relative CPU factors as they see fit. It is important to look at a normalized CPU capacity. If 1 cluster node was a relatively old Pentium host that was idle, and another a modern quad-core processor that is running near 100% capacity, the real CPU utilization is much closer to 100% than 50%. In addition to showing load relative to capacity for a host group, these graphs also show how the real capacity of the host group is changing over time.
