% Utilization Out of Cpu Cap (PROJCpuCapUtilPerc)

This parameter reports the percentage of CPU cap that is project is currently utilizing.
 Like zones, a project can have a CPU cap value set in terms of number of processors, to limit CPU utilization by the project. This ensures that the CPU utilization does not exceed the cap even though more processors are available. This makes the PROJCpuUtil parameter for CPU utilization inadequate.

For example, assume that the project has 5 physical processors available, but has CPU cap set to 150 (that is, 1.5 physical processors). Even though it has 5 processors available, it can not use more than 1.5 processors. Thus, when the project uses 1.5 processors, the CPU utilization for the project as reported by the PROJCpuUtil  parameter is 30% (calculated as 1.5 x 100 / 5). However, since the project has consumed the maximum processors that it is entitled to use, that is 1.5 processors, it has fully utilized the CPU cap.

The PROJCpuCapUtilPerc parameter represents the very same thing; it reports the amount of CPU cap that has been consumed by the project. In the above example, this parameter will report a value of 100%.
 This parameter is available only when the project has been provided with the CPU cap. The CPU cap for a project is controlled by the system resource control, project.cpu-cap. This parameter is deactivated if the corresponding CPU cap value is not provided for the respective project.
