mmmmppppvvvviiiissss - visualize cpu utilization/performance

mmmmppppvvvviiiissss displays a three dimensional bar chart of CPU utilization. The
display is updated with new values retrieved from the target _h_o_s_t or
_a_r_c_h_i_v_e every _i_n_t_e_r_v_a_l seconds (default is 2 seconds).
The height of the bars is proportional to the CPU utilization in each of
the modes iiiiddddlllleeee (with no I/O pending), wwwwaaaaiiiitttt (idle, but waiting for I/O),
iiiinnnnttttrrrr (interrupt processing), ssssyyyyssss (in the IRIX kernel) and uuuusssseeeerrrr.
In _v_e_r_s_i_o_n 1 all CPUs are displayed in one row.
In _v_e_r_s_i_o_n 2 the number of CPUs per row is governed by the default
maximum row length, and the options ----bbbb, ----rrrr and ----RRRR. If none of these
flags are specified, mmmmppppvvvviiiissss uses the default maximum row length to
calculate the actual number of rows and columns in the view, according
to:
nrows = (ncpus + maxrowlen - 1) / maxrowlen
ncols = (ncpus + nrows - 1) / nrows.
The ----rrrr option uses the above algorithm, but allows the user to override
the maximum row length.
The CPUs are sorted in ascending order. They are displayed from left to
right, and front to back (in the case where there is more than one row of
CPUs).
The user can specify a list of CPUs in _c_p_u_i_d_l_i_s_t. If this list is
specified, only the CPUs in this list are displayed in the view. The
list of CPU ids is not sorted. They are displayed from left to right,
and front to back (in the case where there is more than one row of CPUs)
in the order in which they were listed on the command line.
mmmmppppvvvviiiissss generates a ppppmmmmvvvviiiieeeewwww(1) configuration file, and passes most command
line options to ppppmmmmvvvviiiieeeewwww(1). Therefore, the command line options ----AAAA, ----aaaa,
----CCCC, ----hhhh, ----nnnn, ----OOOO, ----pppp, ----SSSS, ----tttt, ----TTTT, ----ZZZZ and ----zzzz, the _X_1_1-_a_r_g_s and user
interface are described in the ppppmmmmvvvviiiieeeewwww(1) man page.

The mmmmppppvvvviiiissss specific options are:
----bbbb Use a ratio for row:column of 1:8. This option is best for large
numbers of CPUs. If the row length is not a factor of the number of
CPUs, then the last row will be shorter than all other rows. This
PPPPaaaaggggeeee 1111
MMMMPPPPVVVVIIIISSSS((((1111)))) MMMMPPPPVVVVIIIISSSS((((1111))))
option ignores the maximum row length. Only supported in _v_e_r_s_i_o_n 2
configuration files.
----iiii Label each CPU column with the CPU number. Only supported in _v_e_r_s_i_o_n
2 configuration files.
----rrrr Split the view into a number of rows, where each row has a maximum
length of _n CPUs. This is a soft limit. The actual row length is
calculated by an algorithm (see above) which prduces a balanced view
with no more than _n CPUs per row. Only supported in _v_e_r_s_i_o_n 2
configuration files.
----RRRR Split the view into a number of rows, where each row has a length of
_n CPUs. This is a hard limit. If the row length is not a factor of
the number of CPUs, then the last row will be shorter than all other
rows. Only supported in _v_e_r_s_i_o_n 2 configuration files.
----vvvv Generate a _v_e_r_s_i_o_n 1 or 2 configuration file for ppppmmmmvvvviiiieeeewwww(1). This
will affect the appearance of the scene although the metrics are the
same. The default is version 2.
----VVVV Verbose mode - output the generated ppppmmmmvvvviiiieeeewwww(1) configuration file.
