+ <h1>Performance Co-Pilot<br>
+ for Mac OS X</h1>
+ </center>
+<p>Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) is a framework and services to support
+system-level performance monitoring and performance management.</p>
+
+<p>PCP provides a unifying abstraction for all of the interesting
+performance data in a system, and allows client applications to
+easily retrieve and process any subset of that data using a single
+API.</p>
+
+<p>A client-server architecture allows multiple clients to monitor the
+same host, and a single client to monitor multiple hosts (e.g. in a
+cluster). This enables centralized monitoring of distributed
+processing.</p>
+
+<p>Integrated archive logging and replay so a client application can use
+the same API to process real-time data from a host or historical data
+from an archive.</p>
+
+<p>The architecture and services of the base PCP infrastructure are
+especially attractive for those tackling the harder system-level
+performance problems. For example this may involve a transient
+performance degradation, or some complex interaction between resource
+demands on a single system, or those seeking centralized monitoring of
+distributed processing (e.g. in a cluster or webserver farm
+environment), or management of performance on large systems with lots
+of moving parts.</p>
+
+<p>The open source release of PCP includes all of the PCP libraries,
+infrastructure and daemons, along with a Darwin agent that exports a
+broad range of performance data from 7.4.x (Mac OS X 10.4) onward.
+This includes coverage of activity in the areas of:</p>
+<ul>
+ <li>CPU
+ <li>Disk
+ <li>Memory
+ <li>Swapping
+ <li>Network
+ <li>NFS
+ <li>RPC
+ <li>Filesystems
+</ul>
+<p>Other agents export performance data from: </p>
+<ul>
+ <li>Apache
+ <li>Cisco routers
+ <li>Databases
+ <li>ElasticSearch
+ <li>Postfix
+ <li>Samba
+ <li>Web server activity logs
+ <li>... and many more places.
+</ul>
