How to get notification when CPU usage goes beyond certain point? - ios

Question

I want to get notification whenever my application CPU usage goes to certain level.
I can then print all logs and find out whats going wrong.

Answer 1

May be the following links will help you-

And after getting CPU uses you can find desired point.

With the help of this answer
- (float)cpuUsages
{
kern_return_t kr;
task_info_data_t tinfo;
mach_msg_type_number_t task_info_count;
task_info_count = TASK_INFO_MAX;
kr = task_info(mach_task_self(), TASK_BASIC_INFO, (task_info_t)tinfo, &task_info_count);
if (kr != KERN_SUCCESS) {
return -1;
}
task_basic_info_t basic_info;
thread_array_t thread_list;
mach_msg_type_number_t thread_count;
thread_info_data_t thinfo;
mach_msg_type_number_t thread_info_count;
thread_basic_info_t basic_info_th;
uint32_t stat_thread = 0; // Mach threads
basic_info = (task_basic_info_t)tinfo;
// get threads in the task
kr = task_threads(mach_task_self(), &thread_list, &thread_count);
if (kr != KERN_SUCCESS) {
return -1;
}
if (thread_count > 0)
stat_thread += thread_count;
long tot_sec = 0;
long tot_usec = 0;
float tot_cpu = 0;
int j;
for (j = 0; j < thread_count; j++)
{
thread_info_count = THREAD_INFO_MAX;
kr = thread_info(thread_list[j], THREAD_BASIC_INFO,
(thread_info_t)thinfo, &thread_info_count);
if (kr != KERN_SUCCESS) {
return -1;
}
basic_info_th = (thread_basic_info_t)thinfo;
if (!(basic_info_th->flags & TH_FLAGS_IDLE)) {
tot_sec = tot_sec + basic_info_th->user_time.seconds + basic_info_th->system_time.seconds;
tot_usec = tot_usec + basic_info_th->system_time.microseconds + basic_info_th->system_time.microseconds;
tot_cpu = tot_cpu + basic_info_th->cpu_usage / (float)TH_USAGE_SCALE * 100.0;
}
} // for each thread
kr = vm_deallocate(mach_task_self(), (vm_offset_t)thread_list, thread_count * sizeof(thread_t));
assert(kr == KERN_SUCCESS);
return tot_cpu;
}
You can fire a Timer let say 5 sec, on each tick you need to call the blow method. And when you find the point you want then post your notification or what ever you want to do.
- (void)checkCPUUsagesInEvery5Sec {
if([self cpuUsages] > 10.0f) // your desire point
{
// your stuff
}
}
