On Linux, system load is defined as the exponentially decaying average of num runnable processes + num uninterruptable processes. I am wondering if it will correctly account for CFS cgroup quota used to limit the number of cpu shares a group of processes may use in a given interval. In other word: If a process is throttled due to depleted

Debian test if load average shows real value
How can I test that my kernel is showing the correct load average ? The load is always high on this server, and I doubt it’s the real one. I use kernel 3.2.0 and Debian version 7.3 Answer If you are planning get more info directly from kernel, then it’s better to look at /proc/sched_debug (this requires, SCHED_DEBUG=y), then you
Linux: How to put a load on system memory?
I’m working on a small function, that gives my users a picture of how occupied the CPU is. I’m using cat /proc/loadavg, which returns the well known 3 numbers. My problem is that the CPU doesn’t do anything, right now, while I’m developing. Is there a good way to generate some load on the CPU, I was thinking something like
