I remember having debates in 1990, when SMP UNIX was still a new thing, about whether "load average" should be scaled by the number of processors. Things have only gotten messier since then. As usual, Brendan Gregg has a good take. https://twitter.com/brendangregg/status/1411654427304333313 Personally, what I'd want to see is the proportion of max achievable IPC, and if that means getting used to numbers well below 100% (even when I'm doing everything right) then so be it. I can adjust my expectations and targets. |
