gizmo :: processor statistics
Every five minutes, information is collected from /proc/stat. This shows counters that count up from the time Linux was booted. The derive function of RRDTool takes care of taking the derivatives, and I can generate reports about how the kernel has been spending its time. In this manner I am able to get an accumulated average and not an instantaneous average. Otherwise, the processor would appear mostly idle unless it was coincidentally busy during the tests. The VIA C3 Nehemiah processor has only 64 KB cache, a maximum Thermal Design Power (TDP) of 20 watts, operates at 1002.462 MHz, and gets 2008.16 "bogomips". Back to Welcome Page
