How to fix the CPU bound issues on AIX?
Hi All,
Can you please answer my question.
i see lot of CPU utilization on AIX LPARs. i am able to find the cause of the probelm. But i do not know how to mitigate or fix the problem.
for instance,
i found the process which is consuming most of CPU. i informed the responsible team.
how exactly needs to be fixed ?
Issue:
java (websphere) jvm is consuming 96% CPU
and other server database process consuming 98% CPU
thanks,

We have tried to install an APAR fix IZ20298 on a AIX test server. It is requiring a base level of bos.adt.prof of 5.3.0.0 I cannot find this file anywhere. I fould 5.3.0.1 and it still will not install without the base install. Any ideas where I can find bos.adt.prof 5.3.0.0? (1 Reply)

Hi
Could somebody explain me how AIX is using CPU??
For example when we have 2 processors system is giving all task to one of them till 100% is used ?? Or it's depend on configuration or anything else ??

Guys,
I have a question - when nmon reports a sizeable %CPU wait, does that mean -
1) IO operations are slowing CPU down, OR
2) paging slowing the CPU down, OR
3) one cant tell??
I thought the nmon documentation clearly suggested that CPU waits reported in nmon were from disk... (4 Replies)

pthread_getcpuclockid
PTHREAD_GETCPUCLOCKID(3) Linux Programmer's Manual PTHREAD_GETCPUCLOCKID(3)
NAME
pthread_getcpuclockid - retrieve ID of a thread's CPU time clock
SYNOPSIS
#include <pthread.h>
#include <time.h>
int pthread_getcpuclockid(pthread_t thread, clockid_t *clock_id);
Compile and link with -pthread.
DESCRIPTION
The pthread_getcpuclockid() function returns the clock ID for the CPU time clock of the thread thread.
RETURN VALUE
On success, this function returns 0; on error, it returns a nonzero error number.
ERRORS
ENOENT Per-thread CPU time clocks are not supported by the system.
ESRCH No thread with the ID thread could be found.
VERSIONS
This function is available in glibc since version 2.2.
CONFORMING TO
POSIX.1-2001.
NOTES
When thread refers to the calling thread, this function returns an identifier that refers to the same clock manipulated by clock_gettime(2)
and clock_settime(2) when given the clock ID CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID.
EXAMPLE
The program below creates a thread and then uses clock_gettime(2) to retrieve the total process CPU time, and the per-thread CPU time con-
sumed by the two threads. The following shell session shows an example run:
$ ./a.out
Main thread sleeping
Subthread starting infinite loop
Main thread consuming some CPU time...
Process total CPU time: 1.368
Main thread CPU time: 0.376
Subthread CPU time: 0.992
