/usr/bin/mpstat[-p | -P set][interval [count]]
Use the mpstat command to report per-processor statistics in tabular form. Each row of the table represents the activity of one processor. The first table summarizes all activity since boot; each subsequent table summarizes activity for the preceding interval. All values are rates (events per second) unless otherwise noted.

mpstat reports the following information.
| CPU | Processor ID. |
| minf | Minor faults. |
| mjf | Major faults. |
| xcal | Interprocessor cross-calls. |
