How do I find out how much memory and CPU time my job used?

Supercomputing FAQs
The queue_job_id is the numeric job number. This is seen in the left column when you type "qstat -a" while the job is running. After the job completes, there will be an additional file in your directory with the job id number as part of the file name. In the output from tracejob, resources_used.cput is the amount of CPU time used, and resources_used.mem is the maximum amount of memory used.

How about CPU speed and memory?

Riffster FAQ
The oldest box we use regularly for testing and development is a Pentium II laptop running at 266 MHz with 64MB of memory, 2MB of video RAM, and an on-board sound system with a 1024x768 display. No problem there. On a contemporary system (Pentium 4 processor running at 2.4GHz) Riffster has an average processor loading under 5%. Remember, on a Windows system you can't absolutely guarantee completely glitch free audio ? it's not a real-time operating system, so it's just not possible.

What's up with memory usage and cpu load?

Azureus : Java BitTorrent client - FAQ
Memory usage is known to climb up and drop back repeatedly when using java jre 1.4.2 with some configurations. The cpu load is higher too.

K9 seems to use a lot of CPU/memory, slowing down my other programs. Can I fix this?

Robin Keir's home page - Software - K9 - FAQ
Usually K9 is pretty efficient with its processing. However, depending on several factors it can consume a lot of horsepower for small periods of time. To help minimize these problems follow these steps. Make sure your Recent Emails list is kept reasonably short. Use the Cleanup and Storage options on the Configuration page to keep this list trimmed. The same applies to the Archives area lists. Again, use the Cleanup and Storage options to ensure that the lists never grow too large.

Is there a limit on CPU time?

Oracle Shared Hosting FAQ
For performance purposes, we have limited the amount of CPU time per session to 10 minutes. This will prevent any runaway calls that can occupy the CPU and reduce performance.

Why is artsd taking that much CPU time?

KDE Multimedia Homepage - Frequently Asked Questions by KDE ...
Check your response time settings. On the other hand, the KDE2.0 version is not yet really optimized. This will improve, and until then no real prediction can be made how fast artsd can or can't be.

Why is MadTracker taking so much CPU time?

MadTracker - FAQ
MadTracker has a high-quality playback engine (check the About page), and because of that needs quite a lot of power. The minimum recommended configuration is a Pentium 166 MHz with 32 MB RAM. The optimal configuration would be a Pentium 233 MHz with 64 MB RAM under a NT-based (real 32-bit) version of Windows (NT 4, 2000 or XP). You must have a motherboard with the bugged 686b southbridge. Check The 686b bugfix for more information about this bug and the solutions to solve the problem.

Is the Web server capacity limited by CPU memory?

FAQ
Further HTML pages, images, etc. that won't fit in the CPU can be stored in external EEPROM, up to the filesystem limitations.

Will it affect the system performance when the CPU, VGA, or memory cooler is working nefficiently?

EVERCOOL Thermal Co., Ltd. ::
The answer is “Yes”. When the cooling of the electrical components works inefficiently, it leads to various irregular computer freezes, which in turn causes tremendous losses. Therefore, efficient cooling of the electrical components is crucial. Normally, cooler manufacturers make their coolers into different appealing colors to attract users’ attentions. Luckily, colors do not affect performances of the coolers; they just make them look prettier.

Can I run RLS on a box with CPU speed X and memory Y?

Globus Toolkit RLS FAQ
Occasionally, we receive support requests for an RLS deployed on a sub-optimal system – one that does not meet the recommended (or even minimum) system requirements. Please understand that operating the RLS on a sub-optimal system may significantly degrade the performance of your system. We strongly advise users to deploy RLS on systems meeting the minimum requirements.

Runaway Processes (UNIX) How can I find and kill my runaway processes that use cpu and memory?

MFCF/CSCF Frequently Asked Questions: UNIX computing environ...
The runaway processes are created by a crashed program or session. They usually stay in the system for a long time and consume cpu-time and memory-space. They usually do not release the files they opened for reading or writing, therefore, you may face with lack of disk space, or files that you cannot delete. You can use the "ps" command to see different information about your processes and find runaway processes.

How much CPU/memory can I expect the SunMC Agent and Server processes to consume?

Halcyon FAQ for Sun Management Center 2.x
Resource consumption varies widely with the level of monitoring you are doing. This is a list of "average" resources each component uses out-of-the box. As the SunMC server starts monitoring additional hosts, or as the Agent has more modules loaded, more resources will be consumed.(Resident Set Size, % CPU) Note: Solaris statistics are taken from an Ultra5 (Solaris 7), NT4 statistics from a Celeron 400 (SP5), Linux statistics from Pentium 2 400 (RedHat 6.1 2.2.

How do I view my server's status (cpu,disk,memory)?

TurnKey Server Administration Panel for managing your Dedica...
To monitor the current status of your system resources, login to the TurnKey Server Administration Panel, and click on Hardware then on System Information. You can view the available memory, cpu load, network statistics, and file system status in real time.

How much memory should I give it?

MT-NW Manual: Frequently Asked Questions
Important Note: Your humble authors got tired of writing dry formal technical prose in the rest of this document, and succumbed to the temptation to try to be funny in parts of this appendix. Sarcasm abounds here. Please do not take any of this personally! The humor-impaired should interpret my comments not as attacks on them, but as an attempt to make fun of myself for being impatient with you, my devoted and valued, if sometimes demanding, users.

How Much Memory Do I Have?

All of Memory FAQ
Consult your user/owner's manual for details about the original memory configuration and capacity. If you've misplaced the manual, you may be able to contact the retailer where you bought the PC from. If you have a hand-me-down PC or inherited a pre-owned PC, you probably may not have the user manual or know any detail of the original memory configuration or the memory configuration may have been changed.

eConsole uses 100% CPU time. Why is this so ?

eConsole History Page
Under Windows 9x, eConsole registers as using 100% of the available CPU time while idle. This does not, however, reflect the actual machine load, since the computer remains accessible and responsive as usual under Windows 9x. The cause for this phenomenon seems to be within the metering API of Windows 9x - under NT, eConsole registers with between 0% and 3% CPU load while idle, which is what one should expect.

What mnemonics are used for memorizing the California Job Case?

It seems like a full time job at times, haha, but it's just an interest since I don't make any money from this. I work for SARA LEE FOODS in Chicago during the day and attend Purdue Calumet in the evening part-time in pursuit of my B.S. in Computer Systems Analysis. I currently hold an Associates in the subject.
