<span id="_p_na_"></span><span id="_P_NA_"></span>**/p:**{*n*\|**a**\|**\\**\*}  

Specifies the logical processor number for **/info:ppm/info:ppmidle**, or **/info:ppmperf** options. 

<span id="a_or__"></span><span id="A_OR__"></span>**a** or **\\**\*  
Specifies all the logical processor(s) (default). 

<span id="_w_yn"></span><span id="_W_YN"></span>**/w:**{**y**|**n**}  
Specifies the time in seconds to wait for PPM rundown event (default is 10 seconds).
