Description: A significantly low CPU load, i.e., the number of processes and threads waiting for CPU time, can indicate one of the following:
*
wrong parallelization settings, defaults, or automatisms in applications for the number of MPI ranks or number of threads
*
inefficient parallelization of the code or load imbalance between MPI ranks or threads
*
*
Criterion:
*
CPU load one-minute average is significantly lower than the number of CPU cores or hardware threads allocated by the job on the node
*
Works for shared jobs with existing metrics:
*
yes, if not the load_one is used but the CPU-core-specific cpu_load_core.
*
Possible false positives:
*
*
Possible Cures:
*
checking parallelization settings
