CPU Load Average on CentOS Server [duplicate]
This question already has an answer here:
How to understand the memory usage and load average in linux server 5 answers
I was hoping someone could clarify CPU load averages in CentOS.
The server has a total of 8 cores.
Top command shows load average of 0.68 0.57 0.49
Is this per core or a total load average for all 8 cores?
I have a single process which shows as %CPU 293 which I assume means is
using almost 3 cores of processing.
I am unclear as to how this maps to an average load of 0.68 over a minute
as the process was steady at the value of approx 293% (other processes are
negligible) so I would expect a load of nearer 0.4
