Thank you, just one more thing. Is it the same if I set a shorter, eg 500 ms logging frequency, does it reflects the utilization of the last 500 ms even when the load and readout delay does not allow for a log entry to be produced every 500 ms? Or will it continue counting until the next readout whenever may it happen?
I guess it to be the latter from results like the one on the attached picture. The marked entries (between the magenta lines) are ~1 second away from each other, while the ones before are with about 0,5 sec. On top are the utilization values, then core frequencies, temperatures and power consumption at the bottom. Data all gathered by AIDA logging to CSV.
Is it safe to say, that because of the load by other applications, the logging gets delayed, the interval gets stretched? And it may also include some time spent on lower clock rates, because reaching TDP limits.
Thank you again for the help to interpret the collected utilization values correctly!
