Very high cpu usage - no programs running!!
Hi guys
Was really hoping someone could help me with this problem.
There is a constant 50-60% cpu usage and the laptop is getting superhot 80c and obviously sending the fan into overkill 6000rpm+.
But what is confusing is that is like this all the time!! even when there are no programs running at all!!
and even worse in activity monitor there is no process which can account for that cpu activity/heat. nothing is clocking in at more than 9%.
I have done repair permissions, used onyx to clean up the system, use clean my mac, rebuilt the index in spotlight and nothing works. the second you switch on and log on the problems start.
I cant think of anything else to do apart from doing a complete reinstall which is obviously something i would like to do avoid so any ideas to why this is happening? and how is it possible there can be cpu activity that is not accounted for?
thanks for any help/advice you guys can provide

XML select query causing very high CPU usage.

Also not able to generate execution plan for this sql using explain plan- getting error(ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got -)
Please help me in this issue...
How can i generate execution plan?
Does this type of XML based query will cause high GC wiat events and buffer busy wait events?
How can i tune this query?
How can i find that this is the only query causing High CPU usage?

I think xml schema is created already...and its progressing as you stated above. Please correct if i am wrong.
I found all these sql from AWR report and all of these are very high resource consuming queries.
And i am really sorry if i am irritating you by asking all stupid questions related to xml.

High CPU usage and program slowing down
Hi. I have helped write a program in AS3 that uses classes. We have 2 frames in our movieclip that consists of an ant moving. We have a class of ants and can create 15 instances of them and the program runs fine with the ants walking around looking for food and going back to a corner that is their nest and going back out again. The ants also respond to mouse movement if the mouse pointer is near an ant.
If we create more than 15 ants, then the program starts to slow down. If we have 30 ants on the screen, then there is noticable stuttering of the ant movement. The CPU usage on a P4 2.5Ghz Pentium is around 50%.
Is this normal? or is something wrong?
I would have thought we would be able to scale up the number of ants easily.
Thanks
Trev.Hi kglad.
Thanks for the reply.
I assume enabling cacheAsBitmap is set in the ant class Constructor, as we have tried that and it has helped, see below. We can now create 30 ants with very slight stuttering.
We have an ant class as below.
public class TAnt extends MovieClip { // lots of code here }
ant Constructor as below.
public function TAnt(newX: Number, newY: Number, sW: Number, sH: Number, rCyc: Number) {
this.cacheAsBitmap = true;
// more code here }
// We have implemented a Finite State Machine for the ant behaviour.
regarding the ants using a loop and using a controller class, I am not sure what you mean.
We are creating instances of the ants in the Ants.fla file which is in the Action file and add each new ant to an array. See below.
for (var a = 0; a < nAnts; a++) {
var newAntX = Math.random() * screenWidth; // randomly generate ant location
var newAntY = Math.random() * screenHeight;
var rCyc = Math.random() * 800;
var ant = new TAnt(newAntX, newAntY, screenWidth, screenHeight, rCyc); // create ant
addChild(ant); // add ant so visible on screen
ants.push(ant); // add ant to array
So we use an array for looping through the ants in the Ants.fla Action file.
Is this the way you mean?
Thanks

High CPU usage and continuously running fan
I recently sent off a logicboard to be repaired for a non-charging issue. Everything worked fine with the exception of the battery would not charge. I received the board back today and noticed immediately that the fan starts running at high speed within 10 seconds of pushing the power button. It also boots extremely slow and when it does finally, eveything takes forever to open. It seems to operate better in safe mode but the fan is still running at about 6200 rpm. Using iStat, I noticed that the temperature itself is not that bad. The CPU is running at about 32 C. And it doesn't feel hot to the touch at all. But the fan never shuts off. I have tried an SMC reset and PRAM reset, no joy. I tried a new hard drive, still no joy. When I can finally get into Activity Monitor, it says that Kernel_task is using upwards of 200% of the CPU. Any suggestions on what I can try to get this kernel_task issue corrected and get the fan to slow back down? Thanks in advance for any light anyone can shed on this.

TamiI was able to run the Apple Hardware Test and the error is:
4SNS/1/C0000008: TsOP- - 124
Apparently that has something to do with a temperature sensor. Of course, I can't find any information on how to replace it or even where it might be located. Don't even know if it's replaceable. Can't believe I just got this logic board back from being "fixed" and it's not "fixed! -
Just installed DW CS3, installation went normally without any
problems. However when I start the program, DreamWeaver.exe
constantly occupies between 80 and 100% of the CPU resources - even
when minimized.
The same happens on 2 XP SP2 systems, one 3GHz 1GB RAM where
I have DW8 installed, and one 1.7GHz dual-core 2GB RAM laptop with
a fresh Windows installation and no other Adobe/Macromedia stuff
installed.
I tried to repair the installation, to uninstall / reinstall
(with a reboot after every operation) , but the problem remains.
Is this a known issue, probably with a known fix?
ThanksGlad to hear you figured it out. Can you explain in more
detail exactly
what you did? Is this the Win XP setting you're talking
about?:

High CPU usage in system running nothing!!!
I have a Windows Server 2008 Enterprise SP2
with Coldfusion 9.01 Standard Developer edition
and MS-SQL 2008 Developer database server.
I use it mostly for testing and development. The system was working just fine, but suddenly it started timing out queries, slowing down etc.
Even when nothing (no application, no schedule task, no sites etc) runs in the system I noticed that it uses 25% - 40% of system CPU.for various period of times. Sometimes for some minutes, sometimes for many hours or days. After this period the CPU falls to 0%-1% again and the system works fine. After some minutes or hours the CPU goes again to 25%-40% for no reason.
When I disabled the service "ColdFusion Application Server" then the CPU goes to 0%-1% and the system works fine permanently.
I say it again, in the system there is no site, no schedule task, no datasource.
In the past all I had in the system was a group of Scheduled tasks. So I deleted all scheduled tasks, I even deleted a datasource to a database I had. So now there is no CF code running in the system. So then why the service "ColdFusion Application Server" uses 25% - 40% of CPU resources ????
Any ideas ?????
AnastassiosYes, Anastassios, it's not as unusual as you think.
I would recommend that you look at the CF runtime (or JRun) logs. If on CF Standard or Enterprise Server, look in \runtime\logs. If running Enterprise Multiserver, look in \logs. In either case, look for the most recently written "out" log (or around the time of the problem). I suspect you're having outofmemory errors (look for that string, specifically, no spaces).
Now, don't assume that if you get them that it means you need to "add more heap". In fact, you may be better suited by using less. The question depends on the error you get. If it says "heap", then perhaps yes you need more heap (but maybe instead something us holding heap longer than it should--yes, even when no requests are running, like sessions, query caches, application scope, etc.)
But the outofmemory error may say something else, like "unable to create new native thread", or "swap space", or "permgen", and so on. These do NOT mean you need to add more heap, and may mean you'd be served well by lowering it.
There are far too many permutations to elaborate. I started a series of entries on the subject:
CF911: Lies, damned lies, and when memory problems not be at all what they seem, Part 1
http://www.carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2010/11/3/when_memory_problems_arent_what_th ey_seem_part_1
I never finished it, but you may get value from what is there to start it out.
I will say that if you are still stumped and need help solving this, this sort of CF server troubleshooting is what I do for a living and I'd be happy to help. I can often solve such problems in less than an hour or two. More at www.carehart.org/consulting/. In any case, I hope the above is enough to get you started on your own.

High CPU usage - Rapid Battery Drain - Running HOT
Looking for help.. PLEASE!
Z10 - Model STL100-3 Software release 10.2.1.2179
Symptoms;
Occasionally, and for no apparent reason, I notice my Z10 getting hot in my pocket. I run the device monitor App and see a very high CPU usage, which consequently drains the batter very quickly.
I've tried all the solutions from every support group thread and blog. And I mean ALL!
Pulling the battery
Replaced the battery
Removed the SIM
Deleted G Mail
Removed all 3rd party Apps (2)
Stopped email sync
Stopped calendar sync
Turned off all radio
Turned Off Wi-Fi
Let it sit for hours, even days to let it finish doing whatever its trying to do
Etc Etc Etc.
Finally, I called BB support, they wanted $50 to talk to someone. I told them the issue, they said the device is bad and must be replaced. I said its software related!! They said.. no, its a hardware issue. Device is under warranty and they want me to just go get a new one. I don't want a new one, I want a fix! Stop the waste of BB $
Temporary solution
Eventually, I decided I would do a restore, back to the factory settings, and here's when I found something
I run BB Link, connect the device, do a back-up... and LOW AND BEHOLD.. this fixes the high CPU usage and the device runs great, very cool, low cpu and extremely long battery life.
Sadly! .. this problem reoccurs, after a few days, sometimes after a couple of weeks and just out of the blue.
I can force this fault to occur, simply by doing a restart of the device. Sure enough, it will run hot, use all the cpu and I will have to do a back-up to get it to settle down again. I've tried to wait for the so called 'indexing' to finish, but it never stops running with high cpu and doesn't help.
Can any one tell me whats happening and how to make this a permanent fix?
There are hundreds if not thousands of people having very similar issues, and many different methods to fix it. Its my belief that there is an underlying bigger problem that relates to all these differing fixes, but as yet.. I cant find it and none of these fixes work for me. For now... I will keep doing the occasional back-up and hope I get a response that can help.

I found a large number of air bubbles and possibly a large air pocket by the way the paste stuck to both sides. I removed the old paste and replaced it with artic silver paste and the z10 has been much much cooler. It use to run about 105*f and now it is around 85*f.

@Curve8530 .....as much a s your discovery is appreciated, I hardly believe that most people will actually dismantle their phone to remove the paste and replace with arctic silver. Besides, what you are doing is not a fix for the actual problem....
In most cases, this heat is associated with apps using the CPU resources beyond the normal limits.
As an easy fix, finding and removing the app(s) in question followed by a reboot, solves the issue. In some cases an OS reload is necessary.... but under no circumstances I would even remotely suggest to any member to dismantle their phone and do what you did... -
High CPU Usage On client application when upgrade remote SQL database
Hi,
Is anyone here encountered very high CPU usage after upgraded the database from SQL 2005 to SQL 2012? Following describes my issue.
I have my client application running on Windows 7 that access to central database (SQL 2005) on Windows server 2003 using ODBC connection, this client application basically query data and perform data insert and update. There are a number of this similar
clients connected to the database.
Due to slowness of the database server, company decided to upgrade the database server to SQL 2012 and also new hardware runing Windows Server 2012. There is no change on the client application and client hardware and the client application still using the
same ODBC connection to query, insert or update the new database server.
The problem I am now experiencing now is that my client PC where my client application running the CPU usage is very high almost hitting 100% when accessing to the central database. I am also noticed this program lsass.exe that utilized almost 40-50% of
the CPU time when client application accessing the central database.
Is anyone here know, why client PC CPU usage 100% when access to upgraded SQL 2012 database? What is lsass.exe program doing, it only appear when accessing to database server. How to reduce the CPU usage on client?
Thanks.
Chee Wee.Hello,
After upgrading, please rebuild indexes and update statistics on the databases.

Since 10.4.6 Update: "ATSServer" with high CPU-usage when opening PDFs
Since I've updated to 10.4.6 my system is very slow when I open PDFs (in "Preview" or "Acrobat").
This is caused by the process "ATSServer" which goes through every file in "~/Library/Fonts" (I have over 4.800 files there - but just a view are activated by "FontBook") and so it takes very high CPU-usage.
I didn't have this problem bevore the update and I didn't make any changes on my font settings.
I've cleaned the font cache, but it doesn't help.
Any ideas?
Ciao

PowerBook G4 17'' 1.67 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.6)
PowerBook G4 17'' 1.67 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.6)I haven't noticed any change myself, Dan, but I have the 2 GHz model.
One thing I HAVE noticed though after OS updates is that they can often result in a fair amount of file and free space fragmentation immediately after installation. OSX's routines will deal with fragmentation of small files , but not of large ones (over 20 Meg), and it won't deal very effectively with free space fragmentation. If your HD is getting full this can cause significant slowdowns, especially where video is involved.
You should also run DiskUtility and check for any directory and permissions issues.

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.
Santhosh.
[email protected]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

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,

Microsoft Office 2004 -- extremely high cpu usage and virtual ram
hi,
when i use office it causes a very high cpu usage even when its in idle mode.
i am unable to work with it, because its extremely slow.
does anyone have same experiences?
thanks for your help!
mbp 2.0 1,5gb ram 80gb hdd Mac OS X (10.4.7)I am able to work OK with office, I'm using the 'old version' Microsoft Office v.X, not much details in the About Box, just listed as MSoft Word/Excel/etc for Mac service release 1.
I get the occasional crash, and I have seen Word in particular use 90% of a single core and amazingly large virtual memory usage, gigabytes sometimes, but eventually the document gets printed.
It shows how useful the dual core (or quad) cpu approach is!
One cpu for Word to print, and one cpu to run the rest of my applications/life!
I still use this old office rather than re-booting into Window§ for whatever is the latest version of office.
Doing some playing with a similar one page document in Office v.X and Pages 2.01, I get Word using about 25% of a core , Pages using 5%, - whilst editing; Intel native Pages has 20% of a core and 80MB ram 480 virtual whilst printing, Word has about 100% of a core and 65MB ram 650 virtual whilst printing, but it is a powerPC code so Rosetta is in there somewhere.
check Activity Monitor or other apps/widgets for some parasitic processes? have fun!

Screen Sharing freezing and high CPU usage
Hello all,
I use screen sharing to remote my mac mini as a media server connected to ma HD TV to play movies, music and surf.
Since I upgrade to mavericks on my macs (Macbook Pro Retina and my Mac Mini) I have some troubles with the screen sharing feature.
No problems with the login step, the connexion is fast, all permissions are OK (I saw there were a bug with some RDP release) but sometimes, when I use fullscreen software as VLC, Firefox, etc (not the native apple full screen feature, I just clic on the + at the top of the window), my sreen sharing freeze and I can't do or move anything on the remoted mac mini. I'm unable to close (or reduce) the screen sharing app too, it's totaly busy (But I can see the movie or the website on the 2 computer, there is no deconnection)... I have to kill the process through the monitoring activity.
During the freezing time, I try to use vnc light from my Iphone and I have no problem, I can move the mouse, reduce le VLC windows... As soon I reduce the VLC windows, the screen sharing works again. I also use the logitech TouchMouse to remote the mouse, everything work fine.
Here are a screen shot of the monitoring activity of the Mac running the screen sharing app, we can see that there is a very high CPU usage when I use VLC in fullscreen on my mac mini. The first is in normal mode. The second is in freeze mode. Screen Sharing is named "Partage d'écran".
Can someone help me to fix that, everything works fine with Mountain Lion.I have a Macbook Pro 13.5" 2.8 GHz 4 core (2 real, 2 hyperthreaded) i7 machine running with 1920X1200 display, 3 virtual screens and VMWare adding a few virtual screens (full sized). I have another Macbook Pro 15" with 2.6 GHz Haswell 8 core (4 real, 4 hyperthreaded). I see the problem using Screen Sharing on the 15 inch (Retina screen) mode simulating 1920 X 1200 pixels using Screen Sharing to the 13.5" Macbook Pro.
When I get the ScreenSharing problem, I have identified it as related to the VMWare screen on the 13.5" Macbook Pro being shown through Screen Sharing on the Retina Screen. Before you conclude it is a VMWare problem, the computations are only on the Screen Sharing client side, not on the server side running VMWare. The mouse gets unusable through Screen Sharing. If I physically move the mouse on the 13.5" Macbook, no problem. If I switch virtual screens, the Screen Sharing goes to normal processing.
I see an appearance of a compute-bound thread on the Screen Sharing client. It takes 100% CPU on one thread, the machine as a whole is 12.5% busy (the performance monitor considers all 8 threads as equal when in fact, they are not).
A few more pieces of information. The VMWare client ends up having a lot of overlapping windows with a lot of changing graphics. My mouse runs into problems especially when it is overlaying a changing plot (Perfmon running in Windows 7, or updating email client). It does turn out that VMWare has a "native" VNC server built-in and I tried to connect to the virtual screen using the Screen Sharing Client on the machine with computing problem and voila!, no problem. I end up having a Screen Sharing Client running native running screen (supposed to be VNC, but I have not verified that) sharing protocol on a virtual screen that is NOT the VMWare virtual screen and a separate session using actual VNC protocol using the VMWare VNC server. It works perfectly fine.
If I may hazard a guess, I think I know what the bug is, or at least, what is the nature of the problem that I have. The rest of you may have a different bug. When I have difficulty, it is because I am on a window that suppresses the dock, both in remote virtual screen and on the local machine showing the screen. Two docks are suppressed, one remote, one local. Throw in overlapping windows with changing graphics in the overlapped windows and toss in a mouse on top of that. I think that the Screen Sharing is trying to refresh overlapping windows with mouse and going through the suppressed dock calculations and never converging on what the picture should be. The mouse ends up being the visible cue that shows the time frame for iterating the windows - flickers with a timeframe of greater than a second. That is far greater than the screen update time. It is totally compute bound with all the overlapping stuff that it is deconflicting. At least, that is what I think is going on.
Meanwhile, the VMWare VNC server appears to send out a single graphics context and causes the Screen Sharing client to converge to a picture. Note, the mouse appearance is very different when attaching to the VMWare VNC Server rather than the ScreenSharing native server. I see two mouse renderings, the virtual machine remote and a mouse rendering from my Screen Sharing client side. They are mostly in sync in position unless I move the mouse very quickly. If I use Screen Sharing client and server instead, I usually see only one mouse, the client side's mouse rendering.
I have a solution for my problem. It is similar to using a different VNC server/client pairing. I will use a VNC server for the systems giving me trouble that is not Screen Sharing Server exercising a probable bug in the Client (though, it could be a problem in the design of Screen Sharing itself). -
PKR crashing - high CPU usage (windows XP, bootcamp, Macbook Pro 2.5GHz)
The PKR (3D online poker) client is crashing - often half way through a game, frustratingly. I'm running Windows XP via Bootcamp and have updated to the latest Apple Bootcamp drivers. I notice very high CPU usage (consistently maxing out a core) at all times when running PKR. Anyone else having trouble with this software?
I've also been getting Kernel panics in OS X, so I took my MBP to the Apple Store in Regent St, London. They tested it and found a problem with the memory controller. After a logic board replacement the laptop is performing very well - no crashes so far in Windows or OS X. Fingers crossed.

we are seeing a very high CPU usage for webservd. looking at the java stack it seems to be threads communicating to sun one LDAP server.
Anyone experienced this? is there a know issue in Java LDAP SDK?
