Summary

Description

This is a selfmade diagram that tries to explain what these three numbers from the Load Average want to say. There's almost no text because I wanted to make it usable in other languages than English. In this Diagram you see any random load. In the time period of 15 minutes it's value is getting bigger and bigger. If you paint a graph (like I did in this picture), you see how it's going straight up. The background "colors" are painted to show that the values aren't "fix" values from these times but from the whole time period until the "now"-label. E.g. the -15min-Value is the average value from the whole 15minutes and not a "snapshot" value from t = -15 min.

I think these graphics are nice for explaining a bit more demonstrative how the "load average" works. For me it has always been an abstract thing ;-)

There are currently two other selfmade SVG-diagrams which look exactly the same but with different values and graphs:

The complete SVG diagram is made by Sven.


Due to the quite bad SVG rendering at Wikimedia Commons, I had to convert the texts into vectors. That's not even bad for the file size but also for editing. If you want to change only one character, in fact you have to recreate the whole text. If you plan anything like that, take a look at the image history (below), maybe you find any old version which uses correct texts or simply contact me and I'll send you the original "Inkscape SVG".
