We have custom device, there we are using the imx8dx as processor, Now we have to calculate the cpu load, when we are using uptime command and top command to see the output .
$uptime command ouptut as mentioned below
up 2:55, load average: 3.68, 3.69, 3.69
load average: 3.96, 3.69, 3.63
load average: 4.59, 4.09, 3.79
load average: 3.61, 3.79, 3.72
load average: 3.91, 3.78, 3.72
load average: 3.51, 3.63, 3.67
load average: 4.19, 3.83, 3.7
For example:
load average for 1 min : 3.68
load average for 5 min : 3.69
load average for 15 min : 3.69
Now the question is how to calculate the CPU load on the processor ?
for example : cpu load = load for 15 min * 100 /2 (Number of processors)
in this case cpu load = 3.69*100/2 = 184.5% , its going beyond 100%
How is it possible ? system can work about 100% ?
responses are welcome and advance thanks ..
