Is there a way to see how much CPU usage per core a process is using?

Process Explorer at least can show you the threads of a given process and how much CPU those are using. Maybe you can get the core/cpu on which the threads are running somehow and then just add up. I have not much WinAPI experience, URL1 maybe processor affinity can only be queried on processes.

Lol, hard to get my process to be the only non-idle process when running in Vista, so much background noise – Davy8 Mar 12 '09 at 16:22.

I know in perfmon you can see how much each core is utilized, and how much total CPU a particular process is using. However I can't seem to find a way to see how much CPU a process is using broken down by cores. Is there a built-in way to see this information?

Is there a programmatic way to see this? (C# preferred) Am I demonstrating a misunderstanding of how Windows (Vista) handles core usage and context switching by asking this question? Edit: More clarification of what I want to find out.

Is my process only using 30-40% total CPU (on a quad core) because it's not sufficiently multi-threaded to utilize more or is it because it's too I/O bound and disk access is the bottleneck? So is there no way to do this at all?

Process Explorer at least can show you the threads of a given process and how much CPU those are using. Maybe you can get the core/cpu on which the threads are running somehow and then just add up. I have not much WinAPI experience, though.

So maybe processor affinity can only be queried on processes.

You can't directly get the per-processer cycle times for a given process, but you can estimate it over time with QueryIdleProcessorCycleTime (as it returns idle times for all logical processors, i.e. , cores) and QueryProcessCycleTime and assuming that it is the only non-idling process running.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
