+    Process power ftrace to produce CPU state and parallelism stats.
+
+    Parses trace-cmd output to extract power events and uses those to generate
+    statistics about parallelism and frequency/idle core residency.
+
+    .. note:: trace-cmd instrument must be enabled and configured to collect
+              at least ``power:cpu_idle`` and ``power:cpu_frequency`` events.
+              Reporting should also be enabled (it is by default) as
+              ``cpustate`` parses the text version of the trace.
+
+    This generates two reports for the run:
+
+    *parallel.csv*
+
+    Shows what percentage of time was spent with N cores active (for N
+    from 0 to the total number of cores), for a cluster or for a system as
+    a whole. It contain the following columns:
+
+        :workload: The workload label
+        :iteration: iteration that was run
+        :cluster: The cluster for which statics are reported. The value of
+                  ``"all"`` indicates that this row reports statistics for
+                  the whole system.
+        :number_of_cores: number of cores active. ``0`` indicates the cluster
+                          was idle.
+        :total_time: Total time spent in this state during workload execution
+        :%time: Percentage of total workload execution time spent in this state
+        :%running_time: Percentage of the time the cluster was active (i.e.
+                        ignoring time the cluster was idling) spent in this
+                        state.
+
+    *cpustate.csv*
+
+    Shows percentage of the time a core spent in a particular power state. The first
+    column names the state is followed by a column for each core. Power states include
+    available DVFS frequencies (for heterogeneous systems, this is the union of
+    frequencies supported by different core types) and idle states. Some shallow
+    states (e.g. ARM WFI) will consume different amount of power depending on the
+    current OPP. For such states, there will be an entry for each opp. ``"unknown"``
+    indicates the percentage of time for which a state could not be established from the
+    trace. This is usually due to core state being unknown at the beginning of the trace,
+    but may also be caused by dropped events in the middle of the trace.
