Method for measuring quantity of usage of CPU
View Patent ↗The present invention relates to a method for measuring a quantity of usage of a CPU, in particular to a method for measuring a quantity of usage of a CPU which is capable of getting a credible quantity of usage of a CPU without amending an algorithm in order to adapt it to the an operating system, e.g., MS-Windows System, or requiring a complicated code. The method uses various algorithms provided by the operating system on the behalf of a registry storing a quantity of usage of a CPU inside a system. Accordingly the present invention can measure a quantity of usage of a CPU easily without lowering a performance of the operating system.
1. A method for measuring a quantity of usage of a CPU, comprising:
executing a plurality of system and non-system threads over a time interval;
adding execution times of the non-system threads over the time interval to get a first total of non-system threads;
calculating a CPU usage based on a calculation using the first total and the time interval; and
storing the CPU usage in memory.
2. A method for measuring a quantity of usage of a CPU, the method comprising:
executing a plurality of system and non-system threads over a shortened time interval;
adding execution times of the non-system threads over the shortened time interval to get a first total of non system threads;
calculating a CPU usage based on a calculation using an average value and the time interval; and
storing the CPU usage in memory.
