|test purpose  | To evaluate the CPU load performance of the IaaS. This test  |
|              | case should be run in parallel to other Yardstick test cases |
|              | and not run as a stand-alone test case.                      |
|              | Average, minimum and maximun values are obtained.            |
|              | The purpose is also to be able to spot trends.               |
|              | Test results, graphs and similar shall be stored for         |

|              | image. However, if mpstat is not present the TC instead uses |
|              | /proc/stats as source to produce "mpstat" output.            |
