Field - dispatch_time_total

Logical processor total dispatch time, in microseconds. When associated with partition name PHYSICAL, this field contains the accumulated number of microseconds during which a physical CPU was busy but the time could not be attributed to a specific logical partition. This time includes the time PR/SM was controlling the physical processor (LPAR management time) as well as any other time the processor was busy for any reason such as managing coupling facility traffic.
