Note:

The activity graph (also known as a histogram) indicates the processor
activity level of each microprocessor within the system. This display is

Each bar gives a running account of the volume of processes taking place in
a particular microprocessor.
Figure 5-2 shows a total of 12 microprocessor histogram bars. Your
Note:
system may have as few as one, depending on the number of CPU boards
installed and the on-board microprocessors that they host.
