  Description     : per-core/NUMA CPU and disk utilization plain-text grapher
 This is a top-of-the-line logger of CPU usage patterns, designed for
 machines with ca. 50-300 total hardware threads (fewer results in a
 narrow graph, more requires a very wide terminal).  Every per-tick
 sample is shown abusing Unicode characters to fit within a single line.
 .
 Disk usage is also shown in a similarly terse per-device way, as %
 utilization for reads and writes.


Other similar tools:
* htop: full-screen interactive
* dstat: can't do more than a few CPUs
* VTUNE: can't be used in CI/etc, proprietary, non-portable
This is a simple tool, with nowhere as many features as the above, but
it has its niche.
