i am newbie to linux. i am thinking of working a project of finding matrix multiplication problem over a linux cluster. for that i need possible ways so that i can DETECT THE LOAD OF THE SYSTEM.
What is your metric for measuring the load?
/proc/cpuinfo tends to give information on CPU load.
/proc/meminfo tends to give information on memory load.
User-space programs like top (general stats) and ps (schedular load and process information) may also help.
