Description: PURR ticks for this CPU since the system boot.
The Processor Utilization Resources Register (PURR) is
a 64-bit counter which provides an estimate of the
resources used by the CPU thread. The contents of this
register increases monotonically. This sysfs interface
exposes the number of PURR ticks for cpuX.

Description: SPURR ticks for this CPU since the system boot.
The Scaled Processor Utilization Resources Register
(SPURR) is a 64-bit counter that provides a frequency
invariant estimate of the resources used by the CPU
thread. The contents of this register increases
monotonically. This sysfs interface exposes the number
of SPURR ticks for cpuX.
