An Experiment to observe Linux reported load averages Vs. Actual loads at about 422 hertz for a long time. WWW.Smythies.com

This web page provides the details for the data that gives this graph:

Load average peter35 test.

Which was done to compare with an older graph and to do a test at a higher idle enter / exit frequencies.
The command used: ../c/waiter 2 2340 4213 418730 313 1
To avoid discontinuities in the reported load averages, and to maintain predictable execution loop times in the main program, the cpu frequency governors were set to powersave mode.
The main program, as a text file.
The data as a text file. (warning: large file ~360 kilobytes)
