HP XC System 3.x Software - Manual (Page 20)

Xtools
The Xtools utilities are X11 clients with GUIs that enable you to monitor the performance of
multiple systems and individual systems. The Xtools bundle consists of the following utilities:
•
xclus
• xcxclus
• xperf
• xcxperf
xclus and xcxclus
The xclus and xcxclus utilities enable you to monitor performance and resource utilization
for multiple systems or nodes in a cluster. By default, xclus displays processor-specific statistics,
or
enhanced statistics , for the processors listed in Table 1-1 , and generic statistics for all other
processor types.
Table 1-1 Processors that Support Enhanced Statistics
Intel Itanium model numbers 900 or higher (previously referred to as Intel Itanium 2 processors)
Second-Generation AMD Opteron (single-core and dual-core AMD Opteron)
Third-Generation AMD Opteron (native quad-core AMD Opteron, sometimes referred to as Barcelona)
The xcxclus utility is the HP XC variant of xclus. It uses components of HP XC software and
may not function properly on systems without HP XC software. By default, xcxclus monitors
only the nodes in your current job allocation and displays processor-specific statistics, or
generic
statistics , for the processors listed in Table 1-2 .
Table 1-2 Processors that Support Generic Statistics
Intel Itanium model numbers 900 or higher (previously referred to as Intel Itanium 2 processors)
Second-Generation AMD Opteron (single-core and dual-core AMD Opteron)
Third-Generation AMD Opteron (native quad-core AMD Opteron, sometimes referred to as Barcelona)
Other x86-64 processors, such as Intel Xeon™ processors
Figure 1-1 shows an xclus display for nine systems, each with four single-core Opteron
processors. Table 1-3 (page 21) lists the statistics that xclus and xcxclus display.
