-@chapter CPU Usage Statistics
-
-@section Introduction
-
-The CPU usage statistics manager is an RTEMS support
-component that provides a convenient way to manipulate
-the CPU usage information associated with each task
-The routines provided by the CPU usage statistics manager are:
-
-@itemize @bullet
-@item @code{CPU_usage_Dump} - Report CPU Usage Statistics
-@item @code{CPU_usage_Reset} - Reset CPU Usage Statistics
-@end itemize
-
-@section Background
-
-@section Operations
-
-@section Report CPU Usage Statistics
-
-@subsection Reporting Period Statistics
-
-The application may dynamically report the CPU usage for every
-task in the system by calling the @code{CPU_usage_Dump} routine.
-This routine prints a table with the following information per task:
-
-@itemize @bullet
-@item task id
-@item task name
-@item number of clock ticks executed
-@item percentage of time consumed by this task
-@end itemize
-
-The following is an example of the report generated:
-
-@example
-@group
-CPU Usage by thread
- ID NAME TICKS PERCENT
-0x04010001 IDLE 0 0.000
-0x08010002 TA1 1203 0.748
-0x08010003 TA2 203 0.126
-0x08010004 TA3 202 0.126
-
-Ticks since last reset = 1600
-
-Total Units = 1608
-@end group
-@end example
-
-Notice that the "Total Units" is greater than the ticks per reset.
-This is an artifact of the way in which RTEMS keeps track of CPU
-usage. When a task is context switched into the CPU, the number
-of clock ticks it has executed is incremented. While the task
-is executing, this number is incremented on each clock tick.
-Otherwise, if a task begins and completes execution between
-successive clock ticks, there would be no way to tell that it
-executed at all.
-
-Another thing to keep in mind when looking at idle time, is that
-many systems -- especially during debug -- have a task providing
-some type of debug interface. It is usually fine to think of the
-total idle time as being the sum of the IDLE task and a debug
-task that will not be included in a production build of an application.
-
-@section Reset CPU Usage Statistics
-
-Invoking the @code{CPU_usage_Reset} routine resets the CPU usage
-statistics for all tasks in the system.
-
-@section Directives
-
-This section details the CPU usage statistics manager's directives.
-A subsection is dedicated to each of this manager's directives
-and describes the calling sequence, related constants, usage,
-and status codes.

-@end ifset
-
-@subheading STATUS CODES: NONE
-
-@subheading DESCRIPTION:
-
-This routine re-initializes the CPU usage statistics for all tasks
-in the system to their initial state. The initial state is that
-a task has not executed and thus has consumed no CPU time.
-default state which is when zero period executions have occurred.

-@subheading NOTES:

-NONE
