Description

Get the Recent CPU Load

Usage

cpuLoad()

Details

This function works only Unix-like system with ‘/proc/loadavg’.

Value

A named numeric vector with three elements 1min, 5min, and 15min with non-negative values. These values represent estimates of the CPU load during the last minute, the last five minutes, and the last fifteen minutes [1]. An idle system have values close to zero, and a heavily loaded system have values near parallel::detectCores(). If they are unknown, missing values are returned.
