Computing CPU load

Rajan Patel

Is there a method for determining the CPU utilization for BIOS v6.33+ similar to this:

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php?title=Calculating_DSP/BIOS_5_CPU_Load

I'd like my application to know what the CPU load is so it can throttle its processing. I used the approach in the link for BIOS v5 projects and it worked pretty well. I would like to do the same with BIOS v6 but haven't come across the way to do that.

Thanks,
Raj

Rajan,

SYS/BIOS has a Load module that can give you the overall system CPU load and/or CPU load for individual Tasks. The User Guide should be able to explain on how the load gets calculated and how to use it.

I found the information you referenced in Section 8.2 of the BIOS users guide.

Thank you!
