How do I check CPU utilisation level?

While built-in “Tasks” feature offers detailed view into memory utilisation stats there’s basically nothing about how hard CPU works. After short research I wasn’t able to find an app offering CPU stats (current MHz, utilisation percentage, preferably also which app causes load) – is there any?

!TaskUsage from here gives processor usage as percentages. There may be applications available for some platforms that give processor speed but not for the Raspberry Pi, as far as I know. Temperature can be extracted from some processors but again not for the Raspberry Pi, as far as I know.

!TaskUsage

Thank you so much :-) exactly what I was looking for.

So short that !Usage in the Utilities directory didn’t turn up! It also does what you’re asking minus the megahertz report

And !CPUload here

There’s also !CPUClock and !CPUFreq available from !Store to display clock speed on the OMAP3, OMAP4 and ARMX6 platforms.

Don’t forget OMAP5 too

!Usage in the Utilities directory

Mea culpa, I should look anywhere outside Apps dir before trying to google something to buy/download.

Is it compatible with Raspberry Pi B+ then? As far as I know it’s “armv6l”.

OT: is it normal that !NetRadio (with its !MPlayer) consumes 50-65% of CPU (o/c to 800MHz) just playing 128kbit/s BBC R4 stream?

It does not really consume. It has. Don’t forget it’s cooperative multitasking.

The version here should get cpu usage down to about 10%.

I wasn’t able to make it run because it needs SharedUnixLibrary 1.13 (and version from here isn’t the latest afaics).

SharedUnixLibrary 1.13

Here

thank you :-)

Latest build is here :

Should be the same…

Well, this newer !MPlayer is much less stable (keeps throwing “Audio device got stuck!” error in some cases when I’m changing station in !NetRadio). Still, only 10-15% of CPU usage :-)

thanks again

Not quite! The latest build #37 actually contains SharedUnixLibrary 1.14. There appears to be one fix of a memory leak from 1.13.

The latest build of both gcc 4.7 and SharedUnixLibrary can be found from these URLs :-
