CCM process cpu usage

Hello!
We have 2 CCM subscribers. Their configuration, registered devices are nearly the same. (1300 and 1500 phones, 80, 90 h323 gateways). Node 1 cpu usage is 20%, while the others is always between 80-100%.
What can such a big difference?
(when I moved more than 400 phones and 1 vgw with 2 E1 lines, nothing changed!)
Thanks,
Bela

Hello!
MCS-7800 Intel Xeon 3.06 Ghz, 4G RAM
4.1(3)sr2
MGCP gateways (4 E1) is registered to the 20% node.
H323 gateways is nearly equaly registered to the two subscribers. (I mean their DP ccmgroup setting).
1 more interesting detail: the 20% node handles twice as many calls as the 90%.
Thanks,
Bela

  • Some process cpu usage too much!!

    I have many problem when update Mountain Lion.
    some process are too much usage cpu .
    iMac Processor : 3.4GHz Intel Core i7
    Ram : 16GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Problem Process:
    -  safari web content.
    -  image capture extension.
    -  mdworker 
    There are usage too much cpu , so iMac too slow!!!
    Please solve it .

    I have the same problem here, my MacBook Air barely goes to 60ºC while doing normal tasks, but as I edit video in iMovie (or even just letting iMovie open without doing anything) is gets near 100ºC because my CPU load is always very high!
    Can someone explain this?

  • Dtraced process CPU usage * 5

    Hi,
    I have a process of which I want to trace the libc mutex
    lock/unlock activity. It takes 3,5 % CPU, when dtraced
    it takes 18%. I thought dtrace's impact was minimal?
    Stoping dtrace brings it back to 3,5.

    Dtrace's effect is minimal when it's not doing anything.
    Dtrace's effect when it is doing something is proportional to what it's doing. If you ask it to activate a few probes that aren't hit much, it takes very little CPU. If you ask it to activate probes that fire thousands of times a second, it's going to take a lot of CPU.
    The cool thing about dtrace isn't that it's free when it's working, it's that it's free when it isn't working. That hasn't been true for many other tracing technologies.

    TCP Out-of-Order packet buffer full (tcp-buffer-full)                     1949
    TCP Out-of-Order packet buffer full:
    This counter is incremented and the packet is dropped when appliance receives an
    out-of-order TCP packet on a connection and there is no buffer space to store this packet.
    Typically TCP packets are put into order on connections that are inspected by the
    appliance or when packets are sent to SSM for inspection. There is a default queue size
    and when packets in excess of this default queue size are received they will be dropped.
    Recommendations:
    On ASA platforms the queue size could be increased using queue-limit configuration
    under tcp-map.
    Similarly you need to check many reasons for the asp drop logs that you have captured and you need to monitor how much it is increasing and the difference.......
    but 40 % CPU utilization is a okay kind of thing and you do not need to worry if that happens only during peak hours ans it is not increasing drastically more and more.

  • MBP with 10.6.8: CPU usage high, no responsible processes shown in Activity Monitor. What causes this?

    After using my computer for some time, CPU usage climbs to about 90% (ca. 65% user / 26% system) and fans run at high speed, but there is no processes that seem to use CPU (other than Activity Monitor itself ~1%).
    This has happened a few times recently. It happens when I've used my computer for some time, hours or a couple of days (I usually put my computer to sleep when not using it but rarely shut it down). I've tried to quit all running apps incl. Growl, Dropbox, and anything that could be responsible to this but with no results. Putting computer to sleep for a long time doesn't help, cpu usage will climb instantly after wake up. Restarting system is the only thing that helps.
    Most of the time I use my laptop with external monitor, lid closed and connected to power supply. When experiencing this, opening the lid causes fans to slow down, but CPU usage remains high and battery drains quick.
    Any ideas what might cause this?
    My MBP is 15" model with Core 2 Duo 2,66 GHz (MacBookPro 5,3), OS X version is 10.6.8, all available updates are installed.

    Perform a SMU reset.

    Remove the anti-virus, it's running a root level process all the time that's taking your CPU and it's not necessary as there are no Mac viruses, Apple has the trojan angle covered already.
    Always on anti-virus on a Mac is always a source of problems, also is MacKeeper, uninstall that here if you have it.

    If you need to clean the Windows filth off PC files, then use the free, run as you need, ClamXav.

    It seems your machine is used in a corporate enviroment, thus likely a rule that anti-virus must be used, you can avoid high CPU usuage by using the ClamXav instead.

  • Lightroom Mobile Sync - Extremely High CPU Usage/Sync Process Causes LR To Lag

    Since my other thread doesn't seem to be getting any responses, I'm pasting what I've found here. Please keep in mind I am not a beginner with Lightroom and consider myself very familiar with Lightroom's features excluding the new mobile sync.
    1st message:
    I'm on Lr 5.5 and using the 30 day trial of Adobe CC to try syncing one collection of slight more than 1000 images. Despite already having generated the Smart Previews, I can see my CPU crunching through image after image (the rolling hills pattern in the task manager) while doing the sync. I was assuming, since I already created the Smart Previews, that the sync of this collection would begin immediately and be done by simply uploading all of the existing Smart Previews. The Smart Previews folder of the catalog is 871MB and has stayed the same despite the CPU obviously doing *something*. As it is now, the sync progress is incredibly slow, almost at a pace like it's actually exporting full-res JPGs from the RAW images (as a comparison only, I know this should not be what it's actually doing).
    Another side effect of this is that I'm basically unable to use my computer for other tasks due to the high CPU utilization.
    Win 7 x64 / Lightroom 5.5
    Intel i5 2500k OC'd 4.5GHz
    16GB RAM
    SSD for OS, separate SSD for working catalog and files
    2nd message:
    As a follow up, now Lightroom thinks all 1026 photos are synced (as shown in "All Sync Photographs" portion of the Catalog though all images after the 832nd image show the sync icon per image stuck at "Building Previews for Lightroom Mobile" and the status at the top left corner has been stuck at "Syncing 194 photos" for over 12 hours. Is there no option to force another sync via Lightroom Desktop and also force the iOS app to manually refresh (perhaps by pulling down on the collections view, like refreshing via the Mail app)?
    3rd message:
    One more update, I went into Preferences and deleted all mobile data, which automatically signed me out of Adobe CC and then I signed back in. Please keep in mind the Smart Previews were long generated before even starting the trial, and I also manually generated them again (it ran through quickly since it found they were already generated) many times. Now that I'm re-syncing my collection of 1026 images, I can clearly see Lightroom using the CPU to regenerate the Smart Previews which already exist. I have no idea why it's doing this except that it's making the process of uploading the Smart Previews extremely slow. I hope this time around it will at least sync all 1026 images to the cloud.
    4th message:
    All 1026 images synced just fine and I could run through my culling workflow on the iPad/iPhone perfectly. Now I'm on a new catalog (my current workflow unfortunately uses one catalog per event) and I see the same problem: Smart Previews already generated but when syncing, Lightroom seems to re-generate them again anyway (or take up a lot of CPU simply to upload the existing Smart Previews). Can anyone else chime in on what their CPU utilization is like during the sync process when Smart Previews are already created?
    New information:
    Now I'm editing a catalog of images that is synced to Lightroom Mobile and notice that my workflow has gotten even slower between photos (relative to what it was before, this is not a discussion about how fast/slow LR should perform). Obviously Lightroom is syncing the edited settings to the cloud, but I can see my CPU running intensively (all 4 cores) on every image I edit and the CPU utilization graph looks different than before I started using LR mobile sync. It still feels like every change isn't simply syncing an SQLite database change but re-generating a Smart Preview to go with it (I'm not saying this is definitely what's happening, but something is intensively using the CPU that wasn't prior to using LR Mobile).
    For example: I only update the tint +5 on an image. I see the CPU spike up to around 30-40%, then falls back down, then back up to 100%, then back down to another smaller spike while Lightroom says "Syncing 1 photo".  I've attached a screenshot of my CPU graph when doing this edit on just one image. During this entire time, if I try to move onto edit another image, the program is noticeably slower to respond than it was prior to using LR mobile, due to the fact that there appear to be much more CPU intensive tasks running to sync the previous edit. This is proven by un-syncing the collection and immediately the lag goes away.
    I'd be happy to test/try anything you have in mind, because it's my understanding that re-syncing photos that are edited that are already in the cloud should be simply updating the database file rather than require regenerating any Smart Previews or other image data. If indeed that's what it should be doing, then some other portion of LR is causing massive CPU usage. If this continues, I will probably not choose to proceed with a subscription despite the fact that i think LR mobile adds a lot of value and boosts my workflow significantly if it wasn't causing the program to lag so badly in the process.
    I know this message was incredibly long and probably tedious to read through so thanks in advance to anyone who gets through it
    -Jeff

    Thanks for reporting. Just passed  along your info to some of our devs. One of the things that needs to be created (beside smart previews) during an initial sync are thumbnails + previews for the LrM app - Guido
    Hi Guido,
    Thanks for pointing this out. I realized the same thing when I tried syncing a collection for offline mode and found out the required space sounded more like Previews + Smart Previews rather than just the Smart Previews.
    greule wrote:
    Hi Jeff, are your images particularly large or do you make a lot of changes which you save to the original file as part of your workflow?
    The CPU usage is almost certainly from us uploading JPEG previews not the Smart Previews - particularly during develop edits as these force new JPEG previews to be sent from Lightroom desktop, but would not force new Smart Previews (unless the develop edits are modifying the original file making us think the Smart Preview is out of date) to be sent.
    Guido
    My images are full-resolution ~22mp Canon 5D Mark III RAW files so they're fairly large. Even if I only make one basic change such as exposure changes, I saw the issue. By "save to the original file" I'm assuming metadata changes such as timestamps, otherwise edits to the images aren't actually written to the original file. I'm only doing develop module edits so I shouldn't be touching the original file at all at this point in my workflow.
    I think it makes sense now that you mention that new JPEG previews need to be generated and sent to the cloud due to updated develop edits. My concern is that this seems to be done in real-time as opposed to how Lightroom Desktop works (which is to render a new Standard Preview or 1:1 Preview on demand, which means only one is being rendered at any given time while viewing it in Loupe View or possibly 2 in Compare View). If I edit, for example, 10 images quickly in a row, once the sync kicks in a few seconds later, editing the 11th image is severely hindered due to the previous 10 images' JPEG previews being rendered and sync'd to the cloud (I'm assuming the upload portion doesn't take much CPU, but the JPEG render will utilize CPU resources to the fullest if it can). Rendering Standard/1:1 Previews locally and being able to walk away while the process finishes works because it is at the start of my workflow, but having to deal with on-the-fly preview rendering while I'm editing greatly impacts my ability to edit. Perhaps there can be a way to limit max CPU utilization for background sync tasks?
    It may help to know that I'm running a dual-monitor setup, with Lightroom on a 27" 2560x1440 display maximized to fit the display (2nd display not running LR's 2nd monitor). Since I'm using a retina iPad, the optimal Standard Previews resolution should be the same at 2880 pixels.
    Thanks again for the help!

  • How could i get the kernel and user cpu usage for each process

    Hi all,
    In order to monitor the system CPU usage, I would like write a script to gather the kernel and user CPU usage for each process, like the prstat or top does. As always missing the shortlived kernel usage, prstat or top cann't get the precise CPU usage. I checked with the dtrace syscall, proc and fbt provider, but don't get which one is useful.
    Please provide your comments and suggestion.
    Thanks in adv

    As I've studied the "dtrace" for a while, and seems Sun gives a pretty high score on this new feature.....I do want to know whether there's some probe can work for it, like writing a "dtrace" version prstat.You can write a prstat without dtrace. Because that's just polling at specific intervals and reading some process structures from /proc. You could have dtrace fire a probe every 5 seconds and read the same thing, but it wouldn't really be using any features of dtrace. Trhying to write it "in dtrace" doesn't make much sense.
    What you could do that would be harder via other methods is to fire a probe at process exit that displayed the process information including total CPU time. They could print exactly when processes exited. Doing that without dtrace would be very difficult.

  • How to watch CPU usage of a long running process?

    Hi Gurus,
    I have a daemon type process that handles transactions. The transactions typically completes in less than a second. I would like to find out the CPU usage of the transactions. I am looking for something that allow me to watch the CPU usage of a process so that I can look for a spike when the transaction happens.
    Regular monitoring tools do not go down to sub-second granularity and cannot track specific process. Is there any Dtrace script for the job?
    Thanks,
    Anthony

    I am a newbie with dtrace, but I think that this might work.
    Start the script with script.d -c "demon args"
    The script would be of the type
    #!/usr/sbin/dtrace -s
    #pragma D option quiet
    pid$target:demon::entry
    /probefunc == transproc/
        self->ts[probefunc] = timestamp;
    pid$target:demon::return
    /self->ts[probefunc]/
        @func_time[probefunc] = sum(timestamp - self->ts[probefunc]);

    OK, some things got changed with Leopard and the Unix 2003 compliance thing, and Apple still hasn't updated the man pages (the manual pages in the Leopard install should be updated, so check your man page for ps). Give the following a try (hopefully these options are still the same):

The acrord32.exe process would hang around after closing the main window and eventually leading to tons of processes and his CPU at 100% use. I believe disabling Protected Mode may have solved this issue. I didn't see it documented anywhere so I figure I'd post about it here and see if anyone else was seeing this resolved as well.

    I noticed 'only' 50 % CPU usage. Not during Reader usage with ~ 20 %, but it started after closing main window.
    Two instances of acrord32.exe were created - the moment pdf was opened - of which one was using zero CPU.
    After opening another pdf, 2 more processes were created, so 4 in total. Have seen 2 of them using 100 %.
    Issue is easily recreated.
    This is all in 10.1.3, no fix from Adobe, only THE fix from you: turning of Protected Mode!
    After which now only one proces is created, with 1 to 3 pdf documents opened at same time.
    This instance is then nicely shutdown after the last pfd is closed.

  • 25% cpu usage from sysmond process all the time

    Hi,
    I have a MacBook Pro Retina running Mountain Lion and my battery is running out very soon (under 2 hours) and the MacBook is getting very warm. I found the process sysmond running with at least 25% cpu usage all the time. I can't kill that beast and it justs ***** my battery. A reboot doesn't help. How can I fix that?
    Regards,
    Philip

    Open Activity Monitor,  Select 'sysmond', click on it and then click on the red octagon on the top of the widow.  The process should stop.
    Ciao.
    There may be other reasons for the short battery run time.

    When I am in e-mail, I sometimes get the spinning color wheel, which lock up everything. when it doesn't go away, I see on the activity monitor, that CPU usage is very high (99%), for a process calles " Safari web content'. When I click on the proccess and quite, the CPUusage goes way down. Problem is that I have to then log back in to e-mail. What can I do to eliminate this proble.  thanks

    How much FREE RAM do you have when this occurs. It's easy to tell, when it beach balls open Activity Monitor (Applications - Utilities - Activity Monitor) click the System Memory tab and note how much FREE RAM is listed. If it's 500MB or less it's time for a RAM upgrade.

  • IPhoto cpu usage high, process isboxd

    Hi All
    Hoping you could shed some light on an issue i'm having with iPhoto. I've recently noticed that on launch it has been running a process called isboxd, and this is using a high amount of cpu power, and also pushes my core temp up to 80 degrees C. Once i quit iPhoto this process stops and cpu usage drops back to its normal 1%. I've tried quitting the process whilst iPhoto is running and it immediately restarts itself. I have also rebuilt my iPhoto library too and this hasn't sorted the issue either.
    My iPhoto library is 56GB
    I've only just started noticing this process happening, hopefully someone can shed some light onto what the process is doing, and if i can stop it.

    Then try to test in a different user account. You might want to enable the guest account for testing. If you are seeing the same proble in a different account, that would show that your iPhoto preferences may be corrupted.
    Delete the iPhoto preference file: com.apple.iPhoto.plist from your     ~/Library/Preferences folder.
    In Lion and Mt. Lion also the cached file in
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto
    The library is hidden in Mt. Lion: To remove the files:
    Click somewhere on the empty Desktop to bring the Finder forward.
    Select "Go" in the Finder's main menu bar and hold down the alt/option ⌥ key, until you see the "Library"  in the drop-down menu. Double click it to open a Finder window, so you can browse the files inside.
    Scroll down to the "Preferences" folder and open it.
    Remove com.apple.iPhoto.plist
    Note: this will reset all  iPhoto preference settings to the default values, you may want to take a note of them, before you do that.
