Efficiency IQ

The Efficiency IQ dashboard is your main entry point into zymtrace. It provides a high-level overview of your system's performance, combining compute utilization, top functions, and top entities in a single view.

Efficiency IQ helps you quickly understand:

  • Overall compute utilization across your entire fleet
  • How much compute is actively used versus sitting idle
  • Top 5 most expensive functions
  • Top 5 entities - broken down by Hosts, Deployments, Containers, and Main Executables

Absolute vs Relative CPU Mode​

You can view CPU utilization in absolute or relative mode:

CPU Mode Toggle

Absolute mode shows real CPU usage percentages — just like what you'd see in tools such as htop or btop.

For example, if your cluster has 2 machines with 8 cores each, and your profiled service uses 4 cores on each machine, Efficiency IQ will display 50% CPU usage for that service.

Relative mode presents CPU utilization in relation to other workloads you're profiling, helping you see which services dominate your compute resources.

GPU & CPU Toggles​

zymtrace profiles both CPU and GPU. You may toggle between CPU and GPU tabs on the efficiency IQ page and on most pages.

All GPU profiling times are currently relative.
