API to find CPU Utilization of the current Process

[gopinath511]

Hi World,

Do Java 5 or Java 6 has any new API's for finding the CPU Utilization of the current process. Is there any other way of finding the CPU Utilization of current Process.

Not that I know of since the JVM is a virtual environment. You'd have to make some connection to native code which gets this info from the OS.

Runtime.getRuntime() allows to get information about the available processors, memory, etc. but I also believe that it is not possible to get the CPU utilization in Java.

I just found this: Profiling CPU usage from within a Java application - JavaWorld

Hope it helps.

That looks useful, please make note that vogella's example involves native code, which will make this program platform dependent.
