2011-04-08 02:39:53 CPU per-process usage percentage - Details needed

Hai,

For my custom board, I have enabled "Show CPU per-process usage percentage" option in my kernel but I cant get the per process usage details from the TOP command. I have attached the screen shot of Process Utilities from menuconfig.

Process Utilities --->

[*] top

[*] Show CPU per-process usage percentage

[*] Show CPU global usage percentage

With these options enabled Top command shows the mem usage for the whole application, not the per task usage. Need to check whether any other options to be enabled other than what we have enabled.

Can any one please clarify in this regard?

are you confusing the terms "threads" and "tasks" ? further, you seem to be using "mem" and "cpu" interchangeably.

what exactly are you having a problem with ? your output looks fine to me. you've enabled per-process cpu usage percentage, and top is showing that.

Mike,

I need to check why my application is consuming 100% CPU usage even in idle case(without doing any operations). I want to check which are all the thread is having high CPU usage in my application. Can u please clarify ?

top already splits out multiple threads. perhaps your display was simply not showing them all ?

it works for me with a simple a.out threaded app:
