Abstract
In accordance with some implementations, a method of collecting statistics about processor usage is disclosed. The method is performed on a data storage server having one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs for execution by the one or more processors. The server system executes one or more processes, wherein each of the one or more first processes is associated with an entity from a group of one or more entities. The server system then receives an interrupt signal at a first predetermined interval. In response to receiving the interrupt signal and for each processor of the one or more processors, the server system interrupts the process currently being executed on the processor. The server system increments the counter associated with the interrupted process. The server system then resumes the interrupted process.
