ps和topcpu 占用区别
但试了一会发现个不小的问题,把包含flash的网页关掉后,ps显示它的cpu占用率还是居高不下。奇怪了,难道它还在后台工作吗?我又用top看了下,更奇怪了,top显示flash占用的cpu分明是0。又等了一会,ps显示的还是好几十。
以前好像也发现过这样的问题,但以为是误差等问题也没细想,但今天看这显然和误差什么的没关系。
上网找了找,终于明白了。
看看man ps里的相关内容
CPU usage is currently expressed as the percentage of time spent
running during the entire lifetime of a process. This is not ideal,
and it does not conform to the standards that ps otherwise conforms to.
CPU usage is unlikely to add up to exactly 100%.
再看看top的
k: %CPU – CPU usage
The task’s share of the elapsed CPU time since the last screen
update, expressed as a percentage of total CPU time. In a true
SMP environment, if ‘Irix mode’ is Off, top will operate in
‘Solaris mode’ where a task’s cpu usage will be divided by the
total number of CPUs. You toggle ‘Irix/Solaris’ modes with the
‘I’ interactive command.
就不难理解了。ps是从进程开始就开始算的,是平均的占用率;而top是从上次刷新开始算的,一般几秒钟一刷,可以认为是即时的。而桌面系统我们一般更关注即时的,所以top的cpu占用率才是我需要的。而且top默认cpu的占用率的和并不是100%,而是核数x100%,所以有时会有一个进程占用超过100%的情况。
