Looking into kernel threads (both current CPU utilisation and
consumed CPU time) in something like ps / htop should help.<br>
<br>

Now that I look more carefully, it looks like your system is
spending a whole lot of CPU time (~75%) in kernel space. Some
system call (or calls) is taking away way too many resources.<br>

Hello gongtao,<br>
<br>
Besides 'message_queue_len', I would also look into 'reductions'
over time (also using process_info/2.)<br>
<br>
As for big message queues, if the CPU is not overloaded, in most
cases it's due to single processes becoming a bottleneck,
whether due to IO and/or heavy crunching; if they can be pooled
or split into multiple ones, the better. However, you say that
CPU is topping at 100%, so it's most likely that it's just too
heavy.<br>
<br>
Long-running NIFs could also cause weird behaviour in the
scheduler.<br>
<br>
This dirty (multiple) one-liner should give you some insight
into reduction count:<br>
<br>
------------------<br>
rp([{-Reduc, Pid, case process_info(Pid, registered_name) of
{registered_name,Name} -> Name; _ -> '_' end} || <br>
{Reduc, Pid} <- <br>
lists:foldl( <br>
fun(Pid, L) when length(L) > 40 -> <br>
SL = lists:sublist(lists:keysort(1, L), 20), <br>
case process_info(Pid, reductions) of <br>
{reductions,Reduc} -> [{-Reduc, Pid} |
SL]; <br>
undefined -> L <br>
end; <br>
(Pid, L) -> <br>
case process_info(Pid, reductions) of<br>
{reductions,Reduc} -> [{-Reduc, Pid} |
L]; <br>
undefined -> L <br>
end <br>
end, [], erlang:processes())]).<br>
------------------<br>
<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

<div>hello everyone:</div>
<div> I am a programmer from china.I have a problem with
my game server.There is 8193 processes in my erlang
node.But the cpu usage is nearly full,and the computer
have 24 cpus.I looked some erlang processes info,find the
message_queue_len of process is very big,more than 1000
sometimes.The disk io and net io are normal,memory is
normal.My erlang version is R15B03.I don't know why.</div>
<div> My english is poor.There are same informations from
system.Hope you can understand.</div>
<div> Looking forward to your reply.</div>
<div> Thanks.</div>
