Vista - Value under the CPU property?

01-10-2008

This may have already been answered. Any pointers is much appreciated.

When running get-process on one of our servers, the value returned for the
CPU property (for some of the processes) lists values in the thousands. I was
expecting the values to add upto 100%? Why would the value being shown be in
the 1000s range?

help get-process -full shows that the (s) next to CPU stands for seconds:

-- CPU(s): The amount of processor time that the process has used on all
processors, in seconds.

That value is the CPU time used up by the process.

PSH>(get-process powershell).cpu
1.34375

So far, the PowerShell process has used up 1.3 seconds of my CPU time
since my machine has started up.

You're looking for the current CPU% used?
