[SOLVED] CPU idling

lamdacore · 2010-03-02 09:32:25

Hi
I am running openbox, with xcompmgr on arch. For some odd reason I am idling at 20-30%.

What can be the problem and what is the solution. (I am fairly new to linux, so bear with me).

Thanks.

CPU = Intel P9500
GPU = Nvidia 9600GTm

Did you check "top" to see what is using your cpu?

lamdacore · 2010-03-02 09:55:11

Yes sorry.. I forgot to mention. "/sbin/udevd --deamon" seems to take the highest CPU.

So, I did not remember having the CPU idling that high. I recently installed cpufrequtils. Apparently running cpu scaling at ondemand or conservative pushed the cpu usage to 25%. It falls down to about 10% when scaling is off. Obviously this means that the cpu clock frequency has gone up to 2.5GHz (from 800Mhz when it was scaled)

a) This is still high or is it not?
b) Is this expected from scaling?

Any thoughts, directions?

I was having the same issue (maybe). Someone on IRC suggested I check without X and the idle went way down when I did. Are you using nvidia driver (upon reading your post again, you are)? I'm looking for more threads about this now.

Someone suggested something http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nvi … laptops.29

but I haven't been able to try yet.

nope that doesn't help

lagagnon · 2010-03-17 05:20:13

The only thing I can suggest is to scan your logs carefully to see if something strange is there, particularly "dmesg". In fact, pastebin your dmesg for us to look at.

tladuke · 2010-03-17 05:47:27

I think it's dwm.

I tried some other window managers (twm and awesome) and had low Rescheduling Interrupts.

Re-compiled plain ABS dwm and got ~2000 Rescheduling Interrupts.

Wait, OP is using openbox. Should I make a new thread?

1) I have tried without X and with XFCE, I have the same result (more or less).
2) I am using nvidia drivers. Doesn't seem to be the source of the problem.

@lagagnon. Will try an scan through the dmesg, but I might not be able to pickup anomalies (not very experienced at this). Will post it once I have access to the system.

Hi sorry I haven't been able to get back sooner.
But here is the dmesg.

1) this is definitely not normal. idle should hover at a few percent (for me 2%)
2) what are all those console-kit-daemon in your htop? I have only one.
3) try using powertop, it might give you other hints.
4) are you using a macbook pro?
5) I don't really get it: I assume the two top lines in htop are cpu usage per CPU (25% and 25%). But the process over 1% add up to only 9%. where is the difference coming from?

lamdacore · 2010-03-29 10:29:48

Thanks for your reply.
1. Yeah figured there was something wrong. Would be happy with 2%.
2. No idea. Always seen it like that according to my memory. Seems to be a normal issue(http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=80101). May be you disabled thread view.
3. Yeah I tried using powertop, a while back though. I got a few recommendations about USB autosuspend. Didn't really help much.
4. Nope. Custom built MSI chassis.
Motherboard: MSI MS1651
Chipset: PM45
Processor: P9500
GPU: Nvidia 9600M GT

5. Thats what confuses me. And primarily the reason, I can't understand what is causing this!

frigaut · 2010-03-29 21:17:21

ok, I had a look at htop, top and atop outputs. htop cpu usage per cpu looks higher than both top and atop.
Also, when I said 2% (which in fact is the best case, it varies between 2 and 4, with some peaks higher once in a while), I am referring to user CPU, (not 100-idle, which can often be different) as in top's cpus line (total 100%)
Cpu(s): 1.3%us, 1.0%sy, 0.0%ni, 97.7%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st

and htop, on the top 2 lines, gives me similar estimates, but it seems to fluctuate somewhat more. May be htop is more resource intensive than top and that's the measurement tool itself that push the cpu usage up?

Also, whan you report your "cpu idle" numbers, is that the best case of worse case (I mean, it varies)?

lamdacore · 2010-03-30 00:18:49

When I say 10% its more of an avg. 8% being lowest. Some peaks to 20%. But pretty much stays between 10-15%.

Will try atop and top for a better estimate.

lamdacore · 2010-04-08 08:56:39

Ok. I managed to find the source of this problem.
I have an Optiarc CD Drive. This apparently causes some problem with the udevd. Apparently, this can be fixed with a firmware update. Will try later. For now, I noticed that putting in a cdrom brings the idle cpu usage down to 1-5%.

Updated the firmware. Worked wonderfully.
I am idling at 0 - 1% now.

Thanks for all your help.
