CPU Utilization

Metric Description

How many of the logical CPU cores are used by your application? This metric helps evaluate the parallel efficiency of your application. It estimates the percentage of all the logical CPU cores in the system that is spent in your application -- without including the overhead introduced by the parallel runtime system. 100% utilization means that your application keeps all the logical CPU cores busy for the entire time that it runs.
