CPU Load problem
I have an iBook G4 800 Mhz processor - 512Mb ram...
and i'm trying to run ableton live - but the cpu load is too great - and i keep getting glitches in my audio stream - plus it has a cpu meter that goes up to like 86% - 92% when i'm only running 2 tracks which shouldn't be hard for the comp to do...
would a 1Gb ram chip do the trick? or am i wasting my time and i need to get a powerbook? also are there any tricks to lessening the cpu load?
thanks for ur help!
Hi Mesaboogiewes,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Ableton.com recommends disabling Energy Saver, fullscreen mode, and Exposé. I would recommend putting the 1Gb of RAM, you will find a better result. I suggest going to the Ableton.com website and looking for more troubleshooting issues.
I hope that helps,
Jon

Safari CPU scheduling problems
When I open a tab but remain on the current tab, Safari grind to a halt while the background tab loads. This is NOT a CPU load problem, for I am monitoring the CPU and there is plenty (I am on a G4, so not even clumsy limits to a single core can excuse).
Things like right-clicking another link to create a new tab takes an age, as does scrolling, which often invokes the beachball. It is as if the foreground page is subordinate to the background tabs.
This is unacceptable and no excuses outside of bad programming.
Anyone else see this?
Message was edited by: Baron MunchausenI had the Safari problem in terms of it getting hung up while loading web addresses and had to go through diagnostics every time I moved the laptop from office network to home instead of it switching automatically. How do I tell if Little Snitch is still there? I can see it in the download queue, but no where else. Also, even tho I have to switch manually to the office network and Safari is slow, at least I stay online here without Safari stopping or getting error messages, which makes me wonder if my router is messed up and contributing to problems. I have reset and unplugged my home router with no apparent effect. Sally

BT stack file TosBTMng.Exe causes 100% CPU Load
I'm also facing the problem that the Toshiba Bluetooth Manager (TosBtMng.exe) very often starts looping and causes a CPU load of 100%.
This happened with older versions of the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack and current version (5.1.0.12).
The affected system is a Tecra S1, internal BT-Modul and Windows XP SP2.
Installation of the BT-Stack went well and the notebook will boot succesfull while BT is enabled. I also checked for hidden COM-Ports and other hints found in this forum, no success.
The lockup seems to happen at different times. Sometimes just after are reboot, clicking on the BT Tray symbol with the right mouse button. Then the context menu is shown just as white area, no entries. It may also trying to connect to an already paired device. If I kill the process with the task manager I can restart and it continues to work for some time.
As found in another thread here I have enabled API logging of the Bluetooth Manager and found the following while connecting with the Nokia PC Suite to my mobile Phone:

A new COM port is successfully created (COM23), and a few seconds later the CPU Load of TosBtMng goes up to 100%, but no API calls are performed. And if you wait long enough the phone gets connected and data can be transferred. However, very slowly.
Probably due to the high CPU load a next COM (COM24) port will be created sometime later and this process is then repeated again:

Maybe this helps to locate the origin of the CPU load problem of the Bluetooth Manager.
Thanks
GerhardI was having the same problem, and it turned out to be the Data execution prevention settings. I had turned on (System->Advanced->Data execution protection) the execution prevention for all programs, causing TosBTMng.exe to max out one processor core all the time. The solution was to add TosBtMng.exe to the list of exceptions and restart. I'd looked high and low for a solution - hope this helps someone else!

Kernel task over 100%. High CPU Load. High Temp. Problem Solved.
Hi,
I thought i would make a post as i had been having trouble with my 13 inch mid 2009 MBP for sometime (6 months), with runaway kernel tasks causing high CPU loads. I had searched through forums and discussions for a long time trying to find the problem and isolate it. Initially i discovered some problems with finder preferances that were chewing up CPU which i solved by deleting the prefereance file, allowing the system to recreate a non corrupted version. This helped but still i had problems. I tried maintainance suites like onyx, reseting PRAM, booting into safe mode, hardware checks and diagnostics, and more little tricks than i can remember. Nothing i tried really seemed to make a differance. Through reading on this forum and others i found out the kernel tasks can be a direct result of hi CPU core temps as the system runs a lot of small kernel tasks to try and take some of the CPU load away from processor intensive processes that may be contributing to hi CPU load. The thing which solved my problem in the end was opening up my MBP, being careful not to touch the logic board and literally puting my vacuum cleaner over the fan, sucking dust and dirt and dust out of my latop. This computer has been through the dirt with me, literally its been dragged through rural south east asia for a year and accompianied me to warhouse parties to perform and run lighting and visuals. Its little wonder the fan was obviously clogged. I know people tend to be holier than though with their mac products and treat them with the upmost respect, but my love for the MBP has come from how sturdy and reliable it has been under less than desirable conditions.
Now im not telling people this is what they should do, i had just noticed alot of people with this problem in my attempts to solve mine, and in the end this is what helped. My MBP now runs at a temperature where i can touch the metal near the CPU without being worried about a 3rd degree burn and the CPU load is acceptable with no run away kernel tasks. Like i saw this might not be the cause of your porblem, as my laptop has lived a rough and fun life so far, but i thought i would share this with you all as i have had contstant help from this forum and others searches for solutions to problems with my apple products.Already tried SMC and PRAM-reset with no luck.
On my MacBook late 2008 it's the same effect. -
Problem... High CPU load with HDD. Please Help
Hello all,
Im stuck. Ive got a MSI KA790GX which has poor HDD access/transfer, low burst rate and very high CPU load.
As far as i know the Western Digital 640gb WD6401AALS Black should be a fast hard drive. Which according to reviews/HD Tune,
should be:-
Minimum 60mb/sec
Maximum 120mb/sec
Average 95mb/sec
Access 12ms
Burst 110mb/sec
CPU 5%
No matter what I try, i always get poor results...
My MSI KA790GX
Minimum 41mb/sec ~ 54mb/sec
Maximum 104mb/sec ~ 108mb/sec
Average 86mb/sec ~89mb/sec
Access 12ms
Burst 60mb/sec ~ 80mb/sec
CPU 26% ~ 44%!!!!!!!!
I could accept not getting the same high speed results as the review/reference, even if the burst rate sucked.
But one of the cores goes to 50%-60% load during hdd activity. Thats just crazy!!
I have tried...
IDE mode, AHCI, RAID Ready, RAID Single Disk
SATA Port 1, 2, 3, 4 + 5
Different SATA cables
Flashed bios, cleared bios, optimised defaults, failsafe defaults
Windows XP 32bit, Vista 32bit, Vista 64bit. fresh installs
MSI CD Drivers, MSI Web Drivers, AMD/ATI Web Drivers
... and combinations of.
I have also tested the WD640gb Black on another older PC, with Nvidia (55?) chipset and slower (1.9ghz x2) cpu.
Transfer rates were slightly better than my KA790GX but, Burst Rate = 115mb/sec and CPU usage = 13%.
I also tried a Seagate 1.5tb (ST31500341AS) on both PCs,
Nvidia chipset
Minimum 65mb/sec
Maximum 134mb/sec
Average 107mb/sec
Access 14ms
Burst 83mb/sec
CPU 7%
On my MSI KA790GX
Minimum 55mb/sec
Maximum 120mb/sec
Average 100mb/sec
Access 14ms
Burst 87mb/sec
CPU 33%!!!!
Could someone please please help, ive spent hours and hours on this. Its doin my head in.
I just hope its something stupid ive missed, cos i still not used my HD4850 from christmas :-(
Thanks.Sm3K3R
Not sure how to check PIO/DMA mode on a SATA device. IDE devices show DMA enabled.
BIOS version 1.4 - 29 December 2008, and now version 1.51
Fredrik
I have Vista 64, but i did try XP32 and Vista32 and got similar poor results.
I tested HDD speed with, HD Tune 2.55 and HD Tune 3.50 trial.
No auto-start programs really, Windows clean installs + any drivers.
Quadrifoglio Verde
CPU @ default 2800mhz, All mem bios options to auto/defaults
Windows Experience Index, CPU Score = 5.3
AMD Overdrive
Integer Computation = 8220
Floating Point Computation = 5325
Memory speed = 1770
Cache Speed = 10790
System Performance = 7403
Bas
I used HDTune because I could reference to other results. Whats a better program to use?
Windows Experience Index, HDD Score = 5.9.
But I have no reference and cant be sure of cpu load.
Sepher
Bios defaults to C&C and C1E off so i have tried them. Also windows power settings, balanced/high performance.
UPDATE
Reinstalled Vista64 but loaded the AHCI driver from the disk config screen. This seems to have stopped the high cpu usage during disk activity.
HDTune with Windows Power settings @ High Performance,
Min = 52mb/sec
Max = 106mb/sec
Ave = 88mb/sec
Access = 12ms
Burst = 77mb/sec
CPU = 3.4%
HDTune with Windows Power settings @ Balanced
Min = 54mb/sec
Max = 104mb/sec
Ave = 87mb/sec
Access = 12ms
Burst = 65mb/sec
CPU = 12%
So now transfer speed is about 10% slower than reference. But burst speed is terrible.
I also used IBM Feature Tool to change the HDD AAM to 'performance mode' 254 as suggested elsewhere.
Long shot as the hdd performs ok with other hardware. same results.
Also MSI support asked me to try a newer bios, version 1.51. same results.
Anyone know what the AMD 7-Series Chipsets Disk Performance Utility does, and should i run it in Vista64?
Thanks for all the replies, hope i can sort this, not played any PC games since Quake 3 on my ti4600... -
90% cpu load on ubuntu 8.04
Hello all,
I made a visualization for sorting algorithms. (The code is to long to post it here)
I developed the app under this system:
Windows Vista Home x64
Dualcore ~2.6GHz
Java Version: 1.6.0 Update 7 32bit
and i have a cpu load of ~10% when i run the app.
I asked my friend to test the app under his OS:
Ubuntu 8.04
Dualcore ~2.2Ghz
Java Version: 1.6.0 Update 7 32bit
and he got a cpu load of over 90%!
We both had no running tasks in background. It was only the java app.
Are there any known issues about this problem or could could it be a coding problem?
Btw the programm uses round about 8 Threads.
TIAmod235711 wrote:
I'm sry.
Ok i try to specify a little bit more.
e.g.: I have this code snippet to check whenever the algorithm has finished.
while (!algorithm.isIdle())
try
sleep(1);
catch (InterruptedException e)
clockRefresh.interrupt();
setIdle();
}Without the sleep I have a cpu load of 50% (of course, because it is an endless loop until the algorithm has finished).
But with the sleep time it's just 1 or 2%.
I want to know if there is a known issue in the JVM that causes threads on some systems to use to much cpu load.
Or could it be a coding problem?
What do you think about the sleep time in this loop?
Or could the high cpu load be caused by bad coding?After reading this post I could not read further. There is the problem. You're doing a sleep(1) .....
Even in C that will most likely kill any cpu. Try to use joins: elegant and faster ;) -
How do you spread CPU load over more cores?
Hi
I recently bought a macbook pro quadcore i7 because my 2007 macbook couldn't cope with the demands of Logic when using it rewired with Ableton Live, and had lots of CPU overload messages.
I am really disappointed that having spent so much money to overcome this problem, it has only slightly improved the amount of overload messages. I read the article below about how to spread CPU power over the cores, now I have 8. I still can't figure out though how to control which channels are using which core and spreading the CPU load to cores 5-8 which don't seem to be being used. Any ideas?
Can I rewire from ableton to different cores?
In my project, the 2nd core keeps overloading whilst the others are down. Is it to do with aux channels, master channels, buses etc?
Or should I upload my memory to 8GB RAM?
Thanks
Steve
Here's the article:
About core activity
Logic breaks tasks down into threads that can be assigned to a single core for execution. It's not possible to split a single thread across multiple cores, although a single core may run multiple threads at the same time. This is one reason that you may sometimes see uneven load distributions across the available cores on your computer. If one thread is very processor-intensive, the core running that thread may show much more activity than the cores running less demanding tasks. This is the main reason that you may get "Core Audio Overload" warning messages even though some of the cores on your system may not show significant activity.
To monitor Logic as it uses the cores on your system, double-click the CPU meter in the Transport area.
A window displays a meter for each core.
The same concept applies to channel strips as well. Each channel strip—and all plug-ins it contains—is processed by one core. If you are using many processor-intensive plug-ins on a single channel strip, the core running it may show heavier activity. This is especially true if you are working at high sample rates (88.2 kHz or higher).
Redistributing core loads
If you find that a single core has much higher activity, use these strategies to redistribute the load.
In the example below, there is a single Software Instrument channel strip with plug-ins routed directly to Output 1-2. The channel strip for Output 1-2 has a large number of plug-ins.
In this example there is activity on two cores: the left core is handling the Software Instrument while the next core processes the Output 1-2 channel strip. You can use routing capabilities in Logic to distribute the load to more cores without changing the sound, as in the next image.
The resulting signal chain is Inst 1 > Aux 1 > Aux 2 > Out 1-2, as shown in this table:
Channel strip
Input
Output
Inst 1
Bus 1
Aux 1
Bus 1
Bus 2
Aux 2
Bus 2
Out 1-2
Also, the first four plug-ins have moved from Output 1-2 to Aux 1 and the remaining four plug-ins to Aux 2.
After adjusting the volumes to the respective channel strips appropriately, the result sounds identical, but now the load is distributed among four cores instead of two. You can use this concept to redistribute plug-ins from Audio channel strips, Software Instruments, Auxes, and Outputs (as in this example).
In the image above, there is still a very heavy load on a single core, even though it's using the routing described above. Notice the Inst 1 channel strip is selected. When a Software Instrument track is selected in the Arrange window, Logic enters "Live Input Mode". In this mode, Logic turns on every plug-in in the channel strip's signal path so the channel strip can be played live from a MIDI controller. All of this must be handled by a single thread and therefore just one core. It's a good idea to keep a track that uses an Audio channel strip selected in the Arrange window, unless you're actively playing or recording to a Software Instrument.OS X Snow Leopard introduced Grand Central, where the OS will distribute the load better to more cores, however it takes time for software to adapt to these changes and make a rewrite of the codebase and test it out, Apple's included.

I recently upgrade my Macbook Pro to OSX 9.0.4 and the system is running sluggishly slow, Activity Monitor showing kernel_task always running above 500% CPU load, system fan always running loud at startup but laptop is not overheating. Below is the EtreCheck report, hoping if anyone can help me fix this issue, much appreciate it. Btw, I have done the SMC reset, but nothing has helped.

Throttling
When it gets high temperature readings from the hardware, or a low-voltage reading from the battery, the kernel may try to compensate by interrupting the processor(s) to slow them down and reduce power consumption. This condition can be due to:
☞ a buildup of dust on the logic board
☞ high ambient temperature
☞ a worn-out or faulty battery in a portable
☞ the malfunction of a cooling fan, a temperature sensor, a voltage sensor, or some other internal component
Note that if the problem is caused by a sensor, there may be no actual overheating or undervoltage.
If the computer is portable, test with and without the AC adapter connected. If kernel_task hogs the processor only on battery power, the fault is in the battery or the logic board. If it happens only on AC power, charging is causing the machine to heat up. That may be normal on some models. CPU usage should drop when charging is complete.
Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, though not very reliable, is sometimes able to detect a fault. For more thorough hardware testing, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
If nothing is wrong with the hardware, then whatever you can do to improve cooling may help.
Installed software
User-installed software that includes a device driver or other kernel code may thrash the kernel. That category includes virtualization software, such as Parallels and VMware, as well as most commercial "anti-virus" products. Some system-monitoring applications, such as "iStat," can also contribute to the problem. You can test for this possibility by completely disabling or removing the software according to the developer's instructions, or starting in safe mode. Note, however, that disabling a system modification without removing it or testing in safe mode may not be as easy as you think.
Corrupt NVRAM or SMC data
Sometimes the problem is cleared up by resetting the NVRAM or the SMC.
External display
Connecting an external LCD display to some MacBook Pro models while the lid is open may cause this issue. If applicable, test by closing the lid or disconnecting the display. You might get better results with a newer LED display. -
High CPU load on SUP720-3BXL / C6k
Hi,
I know it has been discussed many times before, but may I get some new inspiration to solve some problems here.
We've some c6509 with SUP720-3BXL. One of routers has a WS-X6704-10G module with DFC. This is the only card installed besides the SUP720. We're run into some heavy CPU problems regarding the RP:

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
ThomasHi Rajeev,
we have temporary disabled Netflow after we ran into a flapping BGP session problem one hour ago. Router killed BGP related processes due to no free CPU time.
After disabling Netflow, the load of the RP has been decreased dramaticly from <80% to ~30%. But we can't disable Netflow at all because we need the flows to get information for our DDoS protection.
We have now increased CPU ressources for processes:
(no scheduler max-task-time)
scheduler allocate 10000 4000
CPU load is (very) high again:

Hwmond high cpu load after 10.6.8 update
hwmond is causing up to 70% cpu load after every reboot on several xserves i manage caused by the update to 10.6.8. anybody else having this problem? it can be solved by hwmond -s5 to set the hwmond interval to 5 seconds but this command is not processed properly, is causing an error message "IOConnectMethodScalarIScalra0 call return err = 0xE00002BC" and has to be exited with cmd+c. Also, the com.apple.hwmond.plist in LaunchDaemons is empty.
In my case:
I installed 10.6.8 via the Combo Update, was running 10.6.7 previous to this.
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.hwmond.plist still exists and is not empty
/etc/hwmond.SMART still exists and is not empty
/etc/hwmond.conf didn't exist, so from Terminal.app I simply issued "sudo touch /etc/hwmond.conf"
I tried:
In Terminal.app, ran:sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.hwmond.plist
Then, backed up /usr/sbin/hwmond and /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.hwmond.plist
From a Mac Pro running 10.6.7 Server, copied both the binary and the plist to the same spots on the Xserve, then, in Terminal.app, ran:sudo launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.hwmond.plist
That didn't change a thing. hwmond still spiked.
Put everything back the way it was.
And:
In Terminal.app, ran:sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.hwmond.plist
Backed up /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.hwmond.plist
Made another copy to the Desktop
Edited this copy and added a string in ProgramArguments with a value of "-S255", but this still caused hwmond to spike after putting this copy back in LaunchDaemons, repairing permissions, and loading the plist via launchctl again. Any valid value still caused it to spike. However my Xserve now reboots if I set the value to an invalid value, like "-s256". Then again this also caused com.apple.hwmond and com.apple.launchd to create entries in the system log complaining about the value with hwmond attempting to relaunch itself every 10 seconds:
6/24/11 2:37:10 PM com.apple.hwmond[2697] hwmond: n should be 1 to 255 seconds
6/24/11 2:37:10 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.hwmond[2697]) Exited with exit code: 1
6/24/11 2:37:10 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.hwmond) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
OP, Armin, did something similar, but I think he tried doing it directly in Terminal, not using launchctl / launchd, which caused the error he mentioned.
Finally, added a "Disabled" item, with a boolean value of YES to the plist, recopied it, repaired permissions again (launchctl will complain and won't load the plist if you don't). This way hwmond is disabled, I can reboot my Xserve, and wait until Apple figures this out.
Full com.apple.hwmond.plist on my Xserve looks like this now:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Label</key>
<string>com.apple.hwmond</string>
<key>OnDemand</key>
<false/>
<key>Program</key>
<string>/usr/sbin/hwmond</string>
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>hwmond</string>
<string>-s255</string>
</array>
<key>ServiceIPC</key>
<false/>
<key>Disabled</key>
<true/>
</dict>
</plist>
Edit: I too have filed a bug report with a link to this thread included.
Second Edit: Server Monitor.app still works after disabling hwmond via the plist even after a reboot.
Third Edit: Sorry, keep remembering things, a modified /usr/sbin/hwmond was included the 10.6.8 Server Combo Update package, but not the Delta. Not sure if this matters. How has everyone updated to 10.6.8 so far? Like I mentioned, I used the Combo. -
Adobe Reader 9.4-1 cause 100% CPU load on EL40 system
Hi,
when starting Adobe reader 9.4-1 on a Enterprise Linux 4 system the cpu load directly goes up to 100%
This happens on EL40 update 4, 5 & 8
I´m using gnome.
uname -a
Linux 2.6.9-89.0.0.0.1.ELsmp #1 SMP Tue May 19 04:23:49 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 8)
Kind regards
AgentI had the same problem on a RHEL4 system, I think starting with 9.3.1. The system requirements say only RHEL 5 is supported so I just uninstalled 9.3 and didn't look into it further.

[Solved] Compiz eats up ~20% CPU load in idle after recent update
Today I noticed that Compiz eats up 10-30% of CPU load resulting in the CPU clock often go up to maximum. It might be related with the recent updates but it's not sure - maybe the problem appeared earlier and I just didn't notice it. Restarting Compiz doesn't help, restarting the whole system neither.

OSX Lion QuickTime Internet Plug-In causes high CPU load
I have OSX Lion installed.
Now I have a CPU load between 80 to 130% caused by the Quicktime internet plug-in if I watch my ip-camera with Safari. Also I get no Audio out of my ip-camera anymore. In SnowLeopard everything was fine, Safari CPU load at 30%. What is wrong ? Can anybody help me ? It is an Y-Cam Knight SD and a MacMini core 2 Duo.
Karsten Preussner from GERMANYI had this same problem and couldn't get it to work at all. I tried to install the 3IVX plugin listed here and it didn't do anything. So I uninstalled it.
Then I thought to try my Macbook Pro and see if it was working on that computer, sure enough it was. I checked the HD/Library/Quicktime folder and it only had 4 items in it, whereas on the Mac Pro (that was not working) had 19 itmes in there. So, I moved all 19 out to a new folder and copied only the ones that were in the MBP. When I opened Safari IT WORKED!!! NO MORE PLUGIN FAILURE.
So, I must have just had too many old things in the quicktime folder that was causing it to fail.
Here is a screenshot of my HD/Library/Quicktime folder contents. The top folder shows the 4 items that should be in there (Perian is optional) and the bottom window in the screenshot shows all the stuff I previously had in there which caused the failure.
So If you are having this plugin failure, try removing all but these essentials from your HD/Library/Quicktime folder. It worked for me! -
Start x11vnc -- X uses 100% cpu load
Hi.
I switched to arch64 and today I first used x11vnc and it is extremly slow. First I thought about the proxied connection but after looking into top I found X is using 100% cpu load. With arch32 everything worked as normal. Don't know whats the problem - any advices?
Regard, AndreasHmmm, I switched from official nvidia driver to xf86-video-nv and now works much better. I'll try it again with nvidia but not today...

CPU load alert on Enterprise Manager
Hi,
We have Oracle Database R1 (11.1.0.7.0). We see alerts on Enterprise Manager; "CPU Load is 2164260864, crossed warning (10) or critical (20) threshold." frequently.
Our CPU utilization looks normal; CPU in I/O Wait (%) = 0 but Run Queue Length (5-minute average)= 21,474,836.47 is critical. Currently we do not have any performance problems and we do not take a heavy load.
How can I check if this is the real load on our CPU and how can I learn what really causes it?
Thanks,
Hatice>How can I check if this is the real load on our CPU and how can I learn what really causes it?
might solution/answer be Operating System dependent?
How do I ask a question on the forums?
