CPU utilization is the sum of work handled
by a Central Processing Unit. It is also used to estimate system
performance. CPU utilization can vary according to the type and amount
of computing task because some tasks require heavy CPU time while others
require less CPU time. Process time is another name for CPU time and is
the amount of time used by a CPU for processing instruction of an
operating system or a computer program. CPU time is quantified in clock
ticks or seconds. CPU utilization
shows the burden on a processor in terms of percentage that indicates
if any changes are to be made in the system otherwise it may get
exhausted of capacity.
CPU utilization can be calculated by using the following formulas.
Let us define CPU utilization as U
U = 100% - (Percentage of time that is spent in idle task)
% time in idle task =
(Take the average time period of background task without load) * 100%

(Avg. period of background task including some load)
