Hi! The easiest way to get some idea about cpu usage on android seems to be the top utility (adb shell top) However it seems to me that due to power management the cpu frequency is changing all the time (i can see this when doing cat /proc/cpuinfo - the BogoMIPS value is changing drastically). So the question is that how does top calculate the cpu usage percent? Is it aware of max possible cpu frequency and calculates based on that or it calculates based on current cpu frequency?
Consider these 2 cases: 1) BogoMIPS shows 100 while top says my process takes 50% of the cpu 2) BocoMIPS shows 600 while top says my process takes 50% of the cpu Does this mean that in first case my process was eating 50 BogoMIPS and in second case 300 (top is not aware of max possible cpu freq)? or in both cases my process took same amount of cpu (top is aware of max freq)?
