cpumeter — Reports the usage of cpu either total or per core.
Reports the usage of cpu either total or per core to monitor how close to max-out the processing is.
Please note that this opcode is currently only supported on GNU/Linux .
ifreq is the time in seconds that the meter is refreshed. If this is too low then mainly figures of zero or one hundred occur. A value of 0.1 seems acceptable.
cpumeter reads the total idle time in the last ifreq seconds and reports it as a percentage usage. If more than just ktot results are requested these report the same value for individual cores.
