RE: Finding CPU Utilization %

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

 



This might be splitting hairs, but the load average,
as I understand it, is not exactly CPU utilization.
Rather, it is a count of the number of runnable processes.

This suffices as a crude measure of system activity 98%
of the time. But how would you query actual CPU occupancy?

Something like <measured number of jiffies> / <jiffies per second> * n
