Statistics

Statistics - Viewing and setting general run statistics for a job

The job statistics provides important data that can be used to gauge the efficiency of your job runs. The measured time can be compared to the user set estimated value to determine if the job is running at its peak performance level.

Run Times

Measured values: As each job completes, the usage information is collected and added to the average usage statistics. The following four numbers are maintained.

CPU time	The average number of seconds for CPU time used by the job.
Elapse time	The average number of seconds of wall clock time used by the job.
I/O count	The average number of I/O's (buffer I/O plus direct I/O) that the job uses.
Averaged over	The number of runs that this average is computed over.
Reset measured	Click on this button to reset the measured values to 0.

Estimated values: Users may input an estimated usage value. These numbers are not changed by the system and are there to provide an additional slot to store planned or estimated values. The following fields are provided for estimated values.

CPU time	An estimated CPU time in seconds.
Elapse time	An estimated elapse time in seconds.
I/O count	An estimated I/O count for the job

Last Run

Submitted at	This job was last submitted for execution at this time.
Started at	This job last started at this time.
Finished at	This job last finished at this time.
Completion status	The last run of this job terminated with this completion status.
Text	The last run of this job terminated with this completion status.

Run counts

Submit count	This count is incremented each time a job is submitted for execution.
Down submit count	This count is decremented each time a job is submitted for execution. When a value of zero is reached, all automatic job submissions terminate. This is used to limit the number of runs. A value of INFINITE or -1 indicates an unlimited number of runs are allowed. Click on the Infinite button to set the down submit count to infinite.
