How is loadavg calculated?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Folks,

I understand how to read /proc/loadavg.  What does it mean?
How is loadavg calculated using avenrun?
What is avenrun and how is it being set?

Sorry to ask such simplistic questions, but we all start somewhere.

Thanks,
Cary
