CPU statistics calculation algorithm












1















I too many search on internet to found algorithm calculated %Us , %Sy , %Id , ... on result of top command . but can not found any documentation .

some documents like this or this calculate cpu utilization but output not equal with output of top command . (too diff !!!)



How do the top or mpstat commands calculate cpu statistics ?

          I calculate with this formula :



          result=(CurrentUse-PrevUse)*100/(CurrentTotal-PrevTotal)



          this is a example script calculate [us,sys,idle] of cpu .



          #!/bin/bash 

          prev_total=0
          prev_idle=0
          prev_us=0
          prev_sys=0

          while true
          do
          line=$(head -n1 /proc/stat)

          us=$(echo $line | awk '{print $2}')
          ni=$(echo $line | awk '{print $3}')
          sy=$(echo $line | awk '{print $4}')
          id=$(echo $line | awk '{print $5}')
          io=$(echo $line | awk '{print $6}')
          irq=$(echo $line | awk '{print $7}')
          si=$(echo $line | awk '{print $8}')
          st=$(echo $line | awk '{print $9}')
          g=$(echo $line | awk '{print $10}')
          gn=$(echo $line | awk '{print $11}')

          total=$(expr $us + $ni + $sy + $id + $io + $irq + $si + $st + $g + $gn)

          let "diff_total=$total-$prev_total"
          let "diff_idle=$id-$prev_idle"
          let "diff_us=$us-$prev_us"
          let "diff_sys=$sy-$prev_sys"

          let "result_us=$diff_us * 100 / $diff_total"
          let "result_idle=$diff_idle * 100 / $diff_total"
          let "result_sys=$diff_sys * 100 / $diff_total"

          echo -en "rCpu us:$result_us% sys:$result_sys% idle:$result_idle%bb"

          prev_total=$total
          prev_idle=$id
          prev_us=$us
          prev_sys=$sy
          sleep 1
          done


          output like this :
