High CPU usage by Adobe Reader on LINUX

Why is it that Adobe reader is consuming a full CPU when opened on LINUX RHEL-4/5 machines? This is true even for relatively smaller sized files.

I didnt't say that our business is using Linux Desktops. I wrote, our main clientele is. And what our customers do like to use is something we cannot control...
>What difference does it make to you if Adobe releases a new version of Reader that is not supported on Linux?
a new Adobe Reader version that's supported on Linux would be nice. a dialogue between Adobe and Linux developers would be nice...
>As long as the old versions can open the files correctly, that's all that matters, no?
No, not if our staff is trained to use the newest Adobe Acrobat (trainings are usually for the newest versions) and uses that to produce forms. Now the files open correctly. But what will be in some months or years? Do people working on Linux do have to print the forms then again to fill in?
So do you recommend that we stop the process of producing electronic forms and stay with paper-fill-in forms? Is that the goal of Adobe? (maybe not so clever for your "financial viability"?!?!? ... ein schuss ins eigene bein?!?!)
>Adobe is a public company and therefore it's not going to maintain a version of its software at great cost if it's not financially viable. It's as simple as that...
So it is to be interpreted that Adobe is interested in killing Linux cause if users cannot work with let's say forms, they will have to switch to something that can do that for them...
We definitely don't want to force Windows or Mac on our clientele. So as far as I get it, we will go back to paper forms and terminate our licence agreements with Adobe and deinstall it...

OEM12c agents high CPU usage alerts fix (leap second Linux kernel bug)

Just throwing this out here in case anyone else spent the weekend pulling their hair out and hasn't resolved this yet.
Due to the leap second that occurred at midnight UTC going into July 1st, most of my OEM 12c BP1 agents on Linux servers went haywire, taking up 100%+ CPU on monitored servers. This appears to be due to a bug triggered by the leap second.
The following seems to fix the issue without requiring a server reboot.
as root:
/etc/init.d/ntp stop
date `date +"%m%d%H%M%C%y.%S"`
/etc/init.d/ntp start
as OEM agent user:
$AGENT_HOME/bin/emctl stop agent ; $AGENT_HOME/bin/emctl start agent
I didn't discover the fix, but I've confirmed it works.
Edited by: BrianP on Jul 2, 2012 11:53 AM -- subject changed to note this is a Linux kernel bug, not a Java bug... kernel bug causes software using futexes (like Java) to spin and timeout repeatedly

See MOS note "Enterprise Manager Management Agent or OMS CPU Use Is Excessive on or around July 1, 2012 [ID 1472651.1]" for more information on this issue. Oracle notes it may occur from versions 10.2.0.5 through 12.1.0.1.0.
See also "Leap Second Hang - CPU Can Be Seen at 100% [ID 1472421.1]" and bug 14264454.
Thanks abulloch for getting the note out there!

SCCM 2012 R2 Linux\Unix Client High CPU Usage

Hello,
We have recently implemented SCCM 2012 R2 in a mixed Windows \ Solaris \ RHEL environment. The Unix\Linux client are at the SCCM 2012 R2 CU2 - Version
5.00.7958.1024.
A small number of system outages have occured recently on the Linux & Solaris systems. SCCM is one of several candidate causes.
One issue we have seen on these systems is high CPU usage by ccmexed.bin
The TOP command shows the process regulalry using more than 100% of a single CPU core.
The PRSTAT command shows a more resonable CPU usage accross all cores.
However, in both cases the process is using significantly more CPU resource than other systems processes - including SAP and Oracle.
Are there any known issues\reported bugs with high CPU usage on RHEL 5 & 6 and Solaris 10 x86?
I know CU3 for Unix\Linux has just been released and I will certainly be looking at applying that in the environment - more
expeditiously
if this is a recognised issue and fixed in CU3
Regards, Chris

Hi Chris,
Yes, the latest Clients Clients Clients including bug fixes and added support for RHEL 7, CentOS 7, and Oracle Linux 7
Please apply the fix and see how it goes.

[help] high cpu usage with flash (Hello adobe developer)

Running youtube or facebook games, here's what I found. CPU usage rises to 90-100% or 90-100 % of a core.
Tested in XP32/Win7 64. Clean setups. Tested with Flash 9, 10, 10.1 rc's. Used uninstallers, reinstalled and so on. Googled on this, read many threads, such as granting permission on several files. Tested with IE, Firefox, Chrome. SAME stuff. Tested on an e8400 with P35 chipset, i3 530 with P55 chipset, e7400 with nvidia ion chipset, tested with 7[3|6]00gt's, gts 250.. So yes, I've tried a lot of things. And many different drivers too. I am now only pointing fingers at flash.
PC gets sluggish, laptops run out of battery fast. I can usually fix a lot of technicals issues on my own, but I'm TOTALLY stuck here. I should also add that, cpu usage rises only when there is motion. I can watch an .avi movie or play some 3D game, and they won't suck the cpu totally. I can remember in the past, flash won't do this. Flash won't drag the system down. Something is SERIOUSLY wrong.
Can an Adobe dev comment please?

I find it strangely odd that you've never seen this phenomenon, but at least you must have heard of it. Google flash high cpu usage. Facebook games flash lag. Or something alike. Mind moving my thread there? So there won't be a dupe thread.
I posted a similar thread in mozilla forums to see what they have to see, since i notice lag is more apparent in firefox than in ie, although both hog up cpu.
As you can see, I'm not alone.

My installation _of_ what? Let's see, I tried to replicate this in the most bare environment. With nothing else installed, and default Windows 7 drivers, I installed flash from the web, plugin only first, then activex, did the testing, same stuff. Installed OLD 183 drivers, tested with 197 drivers, then 256 beta drivers. Same deal.

High CPU usage Adobe flash player 8, 9 or 10

Does anyone know if Adobe has solved High CPU usage at all
when using Adobe flash player in general?
I know aswell that the animation/video also needs to meet
some guideline regarding best practise for better performance

High cpu usage for garbage collection (uptime vs total gc time)

Hi Team,
We have a very high cpu usage issue in the production.
When we restart the server, the cpu idle time would be around 95% and it comes down as days goes by. Today idle cpu is 30% and it is just 6th day after the server restart.
Environemnt details:
Jrockit version:
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_05-b04)
BEA WebLogic JRockit(TM) 1.4.2_05 JVM R24.4.0-1 (build ari-38120-20041118-1131-linux-ia32, Native Threads, GC strategy: parallel)
Gc Algorithm: JRockit Garbage Collection System currently running strategy: Single generational, parallel mark, parallel sweep
Number Of Processors: 4
Max Heap Size: 1073741824
Total Garbage Collection Time: 21:43:56.5
Uptime: 114:33:4.1
Total Garbage Collection Count: 420872
Total Number Of Threads: 198
Number Of Daemon Threads: 191
Can you guys please tell me what would be problem in the server which causing the high cpu usage?
One more thing I would like to know is that why the total number of threads is 198 when we specified the Executor pool size as 25? I agree that weblogic would create some threads for its maintenance but around 160 threads!!! something is wrong I guess.

Hi,
I'm having a similar problem, but haven't been able to resolve it yet. Troubleshooting is made even harder by the fact that this is only happening on our production server, and I've been unable to reproduce it in the lab.
I'll post whatever findings I have and hopefully we'll be able to find a solution with the help of BEA engineers.
In my case, I have a stand-alone Tomcat server that runs fine for about 1-2 days, and then the JVM suddenly starts using more CPU, and as a result, the server load shoots up (normal CPU utilization is ~5% but eventually goes up to ~95%; load goes from 0.1 to 4+).
What I have found so far is that this corresponds to increased GC activity.
Let me list my environment specs before I proceed, though:
CPU: Dual Xeon 3.06GHz
RAM: 2GB
OS: RHEL4.4 (2.6.9-42.0.2.ELsmp)
JVM build 1.5.0_03-b07 (BEA JRockit(R) (build dra-45238-20050523-2008-linux-ia32, R25.2.0-28))
Tomcat version 5.5.12
JAVA_OPTS="-Xms768m -Xmx768m -XXtlasize16k -XXlargeobjectlimit16k -Xverbose:memory,cpuinfo -Xverboselog:/var/log/tomcat5/jvm.log -Xverbosetimestamp"
Here are excerpts from my verbose log (I'm getting some HT warning, not sure if that's a problem):

So, I'm running with the default GC strategy which lets the GC pick the most suitable approach (single space or generational). It seems to switch to generational almost immediately and runs well - most GC runs are in the nursery, and only once in a while it goes through the older space.
Now, if you look at [Sun Oct 22 02:50:27 2006], that's when everything changes. GC starts running every second (later on it's running 3 times a second) doing huge sweeps. It never goes through the nursery again, although the strategy is still generational.
It's all downhill from this point on, and it's a matter of hours (maybe a day) before we restart the server.
I guess my only question is: What would cause such GC behavior?
I would appreciate your ideas/comments!
Thanks,
Tenyo

While we're aware of the issue, there's not much we can do about it. The modern security realities facing web browsers have made sandboxing a necessity.
There's a good explanation of what's happening here: http://blogs.adobe.com/asset/2012/06/inside-flash-player-protected-mode-for-firefox.html
Long story short, each video packet has to be passed from the browser to a medium-integrity broker process, then to the low-integrity flash player process for rendering. If an attacker manages to hijack the Flash Player thread, the process is low-integrity, which prevents the attacker from doing much with it. While it's not an absolute guarantee (nothing in security is), it raises the bar significantly for attackers.
The downside is that all of that extra message-passing consumes CPU cycles, especially if you're trying to fill an exceptionally large buffer as fast as possible. There's not a lot of opportunity to optimize this.
If you're fine with the risk, you can manually disable ProtectedMode on your machine. If you're only dealing with trusted sites, and you're not doing anything critical with the machine (work, banking, etc), then it's probably not a huge deal.
Ultimately, ProtectedMode is like a vaccine -- it's a herd-immunity thing. If the majority of people run it, exploits targeting machines without it are inconsistent and probably not worth pursuing when you look at the effort involved in developing an end-to-end exploit. If a large number of people disable it, it becomes economically attractive for people building botnets, and you'll have a problem if you're not using it.
To disable Protected Mode, add the following line to your mms.cfg file located in:
Windows 32bit: C:\windows\system32\macromed\flash
Windows 64bit: C:\windows\syswow64\macromed\flash
ProtectedMode=0
If the mms.cfg file does not exist, create one using any standard text editor (e.g.. notepad)
Depending on your operating system, you might need to first save the mms.cfg file to a writable location (such as your documents or desktop folder) and then copy the file into the destination folder using Windows Explorer.
To re-enable Protected Mode, simply remove the line from the mms.cfg file.

CF 10 sp 12 Enterprise high CPU usage hangs services, 2012 server on 2012 Hyper-V host

The last 2 days - my [removed link] CF site has suffered from high CPU usage (on and off) that stops functionality.
This will last several minutes then suddenly the high usage stops a few minute later the high cpu usage starts again.
I don't have any scheduled processes allowed to run.
Restarting the coldfusion service during a high CPS incident - the cpu usage just picks up where it left off when restarted.
I have assigned 4 CPUs (normal) or 8CPUs (as a test) to the VM and I get the same high CPU then low usage. This is a fresh install several months ago on a new VM.
I'd like some Adobe support on this issue but can't seem to find the contact phone number.
This series of high and low cpu usage first started Monday AM about midnight until 7:00 AM Tuesday was quiet and Wednesday this AM I'm having the same issues.
Ideas?
Update: While waiting for this to post - the high CPU usage started again and this time I stopped and restarted the Jetty service ... and the CPU usage went away...
Update: the high cpu started again and a restart of the jetty service didn't help --- neither did the .net service restart... the cf10 application service did stop the high usage...

High CPU Usage with Flash Player 11

I am not sure what the problem is but ever since I had those issues I went back to flash archive and installed a previous version that did not come with the flash plug in and I never had any problem with it since I am currently using the Adobe flash version 10 plug in with an adobe flash player active X. and I find out it was the new flash plug in that is the issue it suck all your ram. If you get some people who is having the same issues where flash player is duplicating and eating all their ram then ask them to try the version 10 plug in with the flash 11 active x it will work fine. I tried to run the version 10 flash as a complete set but some dynamic site that plays videos require a later version of flash active x to work and will be asking for an update however by keeping the flash 10 plug in there won't be any other issues. Adobe need to find out what is wrong with the new flash plug in and run a comparison with the flash 10 plug in. I hope this will help some user to get over the issues that made my online experience a nightmare for a while too.

The best way to get a resolution is to address your individual issue. Your complaint is that RAM usage is high, which is unrelated to the thread from the guy on Mac that was seeing High CPU usage on high definition video.
In order to fix the issue that you're describing, we need to be able to reproduce it. Please provide the information below, and the results of the basic troubleshooting steps as you work through them. This will help us narrow down the root-cause, and allow us to find comparable hardware in our compatibility lab to reproduce the issue with.
Basic Troubleshooting Info
To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
- Operating system
- Browser
- Flash Player version - http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html
- Antivirus/Anti-Malware software and versions
The first step is to work through the video troubleshooting guide for your operating system, here:
- Windows - http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html
- Mac - http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.htm
When reporting issues with video or audio, it's also helpful to get your system hardware and driver details. Instructions for finding this information can be found here:
- Windows - http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_For_Windows_users
- Mac - http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_For_Mac_OS_users
Finally, sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player. I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform. If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing. You can verify this by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the menu.

High CPU Usage on Cisco 3845

Hi all,
I'm having high CPU usage with one of my Cisco 3845.
It works as an IP-IP Gateway and the CPU is quite high when the total number of calls only around 100-200 calls.
I check the CPU usage with "show process cpu sort" and it looks like there are some "hidden" processes that consuming CPU.
For example, 41% is total CPU, 25% is due to interrups, so CPU utilization on process level = 41 - 25 = 16%.
But as showed below, processes don't consume that much CPU, only around 7% ???
Please help to advise on this case. Any help is highly appreciated..
Thank you.

Has this been something that just recently started happening, or have you had this issue for a while? Have you installed any new programs recently?
You may want to download Glary Utilities, which is a free software(they will ask you if you want to go Pro, just say no, the free version works very well). There is a module for startup manager. You can go in and disable stuff that starts with the computer. I would advise unchecking adobe, java, quicktime, printers, etc. Anything that doesn't REALLY need to start with the computer. The nice thing with Glary is that you can restart the computer, and if you find that you need one of the programs to start with windows, you can go back in and enable it again.
The Celeron 925 processor in your computer is a decent entry level processor, but if there are too many programs running in the background, it can bog down quick. I would also recommend downloading and running Malwarebytes Anti-malware, to be sure that there is nothing malicous running in the background.

Can somebody help me please? What is this process? This is a bug? I can't find anything on metalink.
Thanks in advice.

Thanks for reply. Answer for questions:
There was a bug where if you had a DB that was registered in CRS using an older version of srvctl it would cause eons to spin.
Is there only one instance on this node? Has it always been 11gR2? Are there repeating messages in $GRID_HOME/log/pceudb9/agent/crsd/oraagent_oracle/oraagent_oracle.log ?
Edit: I found the MOS note: 1062675.1
I was remembering the bug incorrectly -- it happens if you register a DB with a newer version of srvctl than the DB is. Same questions would apply, though.
Is there only one instance on this node?

Flashplayer h.264/mp4 high cpu usage

I can watch my TV-quality h.264/mp4 640x480px / 25fps videos
in fullscreen
(encoded in MPEG Streamclip, multipass, b-frames,
deinterlaced)
on my seven years old G4 Digital Audio, 466 Mhz without any
dropped frames.
As long as I use QuickTime, I can do that.
On the other hand the same video plays less smooth on my G5
Dual 2.7 Ghz
if I watch it in the flashplayer (newest update...).
I just wonder, if Adobe realizes that they really should work
on
the high CPU usage of their flashplayer while playing back
h.264 videos.
Or is this the price for the smal flashplayer size and can't
be changed?
After doing several tests, I am afraid TV-quality h.264/mp4
vidoes do stutter for about 50%
of the current online viewers.
Does anybody know, if the developers at Adobe are working on
that?
Thank you for any replay

I think part of the problem here is that flash allows to
compose additional graphical elements onto the video. So it has to
do colorspace transformations and scaling in software.
Recently I ran OProfile while watching a flash video (not
H.264) and found that it spends a significant amount of time in a
routine that does BGR32 to RGBA32 conversion. For fun I tried to
write a faster version and ended up with a MMX version that is 40%
faster and a MMXext version that is 67% faster. For reference,
plain memcpy is 44% faster. (all values for memory blocks >>
L2 cache, MMXext can be faster than memcpy because of
prefetchnta/movntq).
Nobody at Adobe reads this forum.

High CPU usage when playing flv files with flash

As more and more FLV videos are moving to HD, I'm noticing
high CPU usage and lots of dropped frames when playing FLV video in
web browser with Flash 10. This is true even if the video isn't
full screen. I've tried a variety of browsers (Firefox, I.E.,
Chrome) and the problem occurs on all of them so it's pretty clear
it's a limitation in Flash.
Now my PC isn't high end (it has a Pentium M 1.86 GHz
processor), but I can take those same FLV files and load them in
something like Media Player Classic or Windows Media Player (when
using ffdshow) and play the FLV files full screen with little or no
drop in frames and an acceptable CPU rate.
This is especially annoying on sites like YouTube where I
actually have to save the video and play it back in something other
than Flash to have it play back at an acceptable rate. This doesn't
work for other sites like Amazon.
Why is the CPU usage so high when decoding and displaying
videos when compared to other media players?

I've been doing research about this excessively high CPU usage problem (100%!) for weeks because I have also experienced it with my vista home premium laptop. Just recently, I have finally found the solution. The problem is not your browser or your OS or your pc's memory. The problem is caused by authorization for flash player.
Read the link (posted below) carefully and follow the steps accordingly. If you have already done steps 1 through 6 with your computer, you can go straight to step 7.

Please let me know also if the link solves your problem. I am sharing this because Adobe seems unable to provide solutions to this, and I don't want to hear people suffer.

MSI KT6 Delta LSR SATA to PATA High CPU Usage Problem

Well recently I've switch to my one of my other motherboards on my network to a MSI KT6 Delta LSR, it was working fine after a reformat, but I notice a few problems and that is 100% cpu usage for SATA to PATA, and vice versa, which seems really crazy. Then my network card performance is ISDN speed sluggish, and I tested my line to be working 100% with another mobo. But when I put another NIC on the same mobo it suffers the same speed problems.
Any suggestions? The rig is specs:
Barton 2500+
Antec QuietPower 350W
200GB Seagate SATA HDD
40GB Seagate PATA HDD
ATI Radeon 7500 AIW
Audigy 2 Value
Realtek 8139 NIC
MSI KT6 Delta LSR Mobo
2x512 MB PC 2700 RAM
Pioneer 107D DVD Writer
LG 16X DVD-ROM
56K Modem (A-open)

Shouldn't say what I don't know about SATA, but since I found below, I need ask if VIA 4in1 drivers are installed, preferably while in SafeMode I say:
http://www.google.se/search?q=cache:X6ewgPiIHYcJ:www.qdi.nl/cgi-bin/bbs/YaBB.pl%3Fboard%3DP4I865%3Baction%3Ddisplay%3Bnum%3D1074174096+sata+to+pata+cpu+usage&hl=sv
I recently installed 160g Seagate barracuda 7200.7 drive on SATA port. (I enabled the Bios using Auto) I have a P4I865pea-6al mother board, with two PATA drives . When copying files between the PATA drives on ide ports, to or from, the SATA drive, I notice the CPU usage goes up to 100%, but when copying files from one ide drive (the PATA drives) to another the CPU usage is very low.
Is there a bios setting that will allow me to copy files from the SATA drive to the Pata drives using a small amount of CPU power, found when just copying between the Primary and Secondary IDE drives? I am using Adobe premiere pro, which uses a lot of CPU power, and the high CPU usage of the SATA drive crashes this program? Any help would be appreciated

have you installed the newest chipset- and ide drivers ?

Skype on older PC, high cpu usage

Hi all!
Tried recently to use my old PC (Pentium4, 2.0GHz, 1G memory) as skype machine. All went well except when using video+audio, it wasn't enough cpu to handle that. Cpu usage was 100% and there was latency in video and audio. Tested that in local area network. Then what I found, much of the load went from pulseaudio (skype about 60%, pulseaudio about 40%). I installed the thing since GNOME without pulseaudio is somewhat broken. Then I googled and tried to tune pulseaudio:
From https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio, I implemented what said in "Glitches and high CPU usage since 0.9.14", it helped with sound quality.
From http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup, in file /etc/pulse/daemon.conf
default-fragments = 8
default-fragment-size-msec = 5
And, finally, from http://linux.die.net/man/5/pulse-daemon.conf
resample-method=trivial
Something helped, after that PA cpu share dropped to about 15%, and I was able to skype with audio and video, even having couple % of cpu idle
Now comes interesting part: I went to gstreamer-properties and selected audio output to pulse. PA cpu load went back to 35%. Then a reverted it back to "auto detect", cpu load subsided to 15%. Then I remembered seeing somewhere that skype through PA emulation of ALSA takes less CPU than throug PA directly
Then I went to sleep
Any more ideas how to further optimize PA/skype to be able running skype on slow PC? I even consider removing PA altogether but I'm worried about setting sound in GNOME.

Did the sharing and unsharing of screen stabilise your CPU usage? I also tried deleting the Library/Caches/com.skype* directory and whilst it helped initially, in the long run it did not work. The only thing that worked for me was sreen share and unshare.
Personally I am just getting more and more disappointed with OS X. The way they have implemented HiDPI support with scaling (downscaling and then upscaling) is just insane and a lot of applications struggle. I am sure this is not the root cause of the high CPU usage issue for Skype. It's not long before I come off the Apple ecosystem altogether.
