Identify Java code consuming high CPU in Linux

Identify Java code consuming high CPU in Linux (linking JVM thread and Linux PID)

February 9, 2011 | By

We can easily identify a problematic java code which leads to high CPU utilization in Linux. Let me explain the steps with the following example,

  1.  package test;
  2.  public class ThreadDumpTest {
  3.          public void test(){
  4.                  for (int i = 0; i < 10 ; i++) {
  5.                          Thread th=new Thread(new TR(i));
  6.                          th.setName(“MyThread-”+(1000+i));
  7.                          th.start();
  8.                  }
  9.          }
  10.          public static void main(String[] args) {
  11.                  ThreadDumpTest t=new ThreadDumpTest();
  12.                  t.test();
  13.          }
  14.          private class TR implements Runnable{
  15.                  int ins=0;
  16.                  TR(int i){
  17.                          ins=i;
  18.                  }
  19.                  public void run(){
  20.                          while (true) {
  21.                                  if(ins!=5) {
  22.                                          try {
  23.                                                  Thread.sleep(10000);
  24.                                          } catch (Exception e) {
  25.                                                  e.printStackTrace();
  26.                                          }
  27.                                  }
  28.                          }
  29.                  }
  30.          }
  31.  }

In the above example, all the threads are in while loop. Except ‘MyThread-1005‘ thread, all other threads will sleep 10 secs inside the loop. The ‘MyThread-1005‘ thread will not enter sleep part, so it will run in while loop without sleep. Due to while loop, the ‘MyThread-1005‘ thread will leads to high CPU utilization.

How to identify ?

Step 1 :

Execute ‘ top‘ command on the console. You can see the ‘java’ command with PID 7074 utilized 97% of CPU.

Step 2 :

The top command displays the process list like the above image. Press ‘ Shift + h‘ and wait few secs. You can see ‘ Show threads on‘ message in the top console. Now, you can see thread level details like CPU/Memory utilization. You can see a ‘java’ command thread with PID 7087 utilized 94% of CPU.

Step 3:

The identified problematic thread PID ( 7087 ) is in decimal format. Convert it into hexadecimal format. The respective hexadecimal for 7087 is 1BAF. And convert it into lowercase (1baf ).

Step 4:

Take thread dump and search the converted hexadecimal PID ( 1baf ) in the thread dump. You can find the hex PID as ‘ nid‘ (with ’0x’) of the thread trace. From the trace, you can find ‘ MyThread-1005‘ is the problematic thread in the test program. And using the thread trace you can identify the problematic code and fix the problem.

Update : FYI : You can automatically take a thread dump of a Java application when a high CPU threshold is violated by using Applications Manager.  Learn more or watch a related video or download Applications Manager now.
