**Author**: \N**Source**: Unknown - Date unknown \N**Please cite**: \N\NThe Computer Activity databases are a collection of computer systems\Nactivity measures. The data was collected from a Sun Sparcstation\N20/712 with 128 Mbytes of memory running in a multi-user university\Ndepartment. Users would typically be doing a large variety of tasks\Nranging from accessing the internet, editing files or running very\Ncpu-bound programs. The data was collected continuously on two\Nseparate occasions. On both occassions, system activity was gathered\Nevery 5 seconds. The final dataset is taken from both occasions with\Nequal numbers of observations coming from each collection epoch.\N\NSystem measures used:\N1. lread - Reads (transfers per second ) between system memory and user memory.\N2. lwrite - writes (transfers per second) between system memory and user memory.\N3. scall - Number of system calls of all types per second.\N4. sread - Number of system read calls per second.\N5. swrite - Number of system write calls per second .\N6. fork - Number of system fork calls per second.\N7. exec - Number of system exec calls per second.\N8. rchar - Number of characters transferred per second by system read calls.\N9. wchar - Number of characters transfreed per second by system write calls.\N10. pgout - Number of page out requests per second.\N11. ppgout - Number of pages, paged out per second.\N12. pgfree - Number of pages per second placed on the free list.\N13. pgscan - Number of pages checked if they can be freed per second.\N14. atch - Number of page attaches (satisfying a page fault by reclaiming a page in memory) per second.\N15. pgin - Number of page-in requests per second.\N16. ppgin - Number of pages paged in per second.\N17. pflt - Number of page faults caused by protection errors (copy-on-writes).\N18. vflt - Number of page faults caused by address translation.\N19. runqsz - Process run queue size.\N20. freemem - Number of memory pages available to user processes.\N21. freeswap - Number of disk blocks available for page swapping.\N22. usr - Portion of time (%) that cpus run in user mode.\N23. sys - Portion of time (%) that cpus run in system mode.\N24. wio - Portion of time (%) that cpus are idle waiting for block IO.\N25. idle - Portion of time (%) that cpus are otherwise idle.\N\NThe two different regression tasks obtained from these databases are:\N\NCompAct\NPredict usr, the portion of time that cpus run in user mode from all attributes 1-21.\N\NCompAct(s)\NPredict usr using a restricted number (excluding the paging information (10-18)\N\NSource: collection of regression datasets by Luis Torgo (ltorgo@ncc.up.pt) at\Nhttp://www.ncc.up.pt/~ltorgo/Regression/DataSets.html\NOriginal source: DELVE repository of data.\NCharacteristics: 8192 cases, 22 continuous attributes
