| |
Hello Linux ppl,
I have copuple of questions, I request you to share the information if you know .... -- 1 -- In the readprofile man page load=(# of clk ticks) / (length of the procedure) What does "length of procedure" means. Does that mean the # of ASM lines of the procedure code? What is the units of the load. It cannot be %. because ----------------------------------------------------------- 152495 default_idle 3176.9792 ----------------------------------------------------------- the above line indicates, more than 100% of times CPU is idle. This cannot happen. -- 2 -- What value of the procedure load is considered to be a potential CPU intensive procedure/ high load procedure.
Say for example, if the load value is 20, then is that procedure considered to be a high load procedure.
Thanking You Shesha
