A sustained processor queue of less than 10 threads per processor is normally acceptable, dependent on the workload. After a processor is available for a thread waiting in the processor queue, the thread can be switched onto a processor for execution. The structure is quite large and offers indeed all the information about one particular task, including process id, state, parent process, children, siblings, processor registers, opened files, address space, etc. In a balanced system with many processes of the same priority, each one will run in turn. If several processes have the same priority, the one nearest the front of the run queue is chosen.

In this article, get acquainted with the major features of the cfs, see how it works, and look ahead to some of the expected changes for the 2. When these processes are runnable, but waiting to use the processor, they form a line called the run queue. A consistently high processor queue length can indicate processor congestion. The longer the run queue, the more processes wait in line. Note that the average cpu utilization is about 60 % which means that the cpu is not that loaded. All if not most systems powered by linux or other unixlike systems will possibly show the load average values somewhere for a user. Maybe somebody knows linux commands that can do that task. A system with 2 to 3 process per processor is fine means 2 to 3 process in run queue per processor core.
