Load = run queue, process utilizing cpu or waiting for cpu
Cpu utilization = % of time that the cpu is busy.
Naturally, I am thinking that if I have 1 cpu and my load=1 all the time, my CPU is 100% busy.
Now I have 2 CPU thread running and doing prstat -Z, this is what I saw
I have a load of ard >1 for the past 15 minutes, it means I have 1 out of the 2 available CPUs busy all the time -> isn't it ?
But my CPU% is only 8.8%, and not 50%..
What does this imply, I have run queue of 1 on average, but they are executed too fast (taking too little %cputime ?) ?
But the load shows that I have avg >1 for the past 15min, this means I am utilizing 50% (1 out of 2 cpu available ) of the cputime all the time isn't it ?
On user complains about the performance of web application, as a part application support, we use following commands to see the CPU utilization in the UNIX using ‘sar' command. Some times it goes below 20 and even reaches 0.
HLW$~> sar -u 10 60
