Nice - “Niced” refers to the Unix command
nicewhich allows you to designate user mode processes with a lower priority than others. By default, user processes are launched with priority 0. Using nice, you can assign a value greater than 0 (which corresponds to lower priority) which will tell your computer to provide processor time to this process only after processes with higher priority get their time.
Nice 우선순위 값의 범위는-20, 19로 -20이 가장 높고 19가 가장 낮다.
Interrupt - Interrupts are events where the processor is informed of another process requiring processor time. This might occur if, for instance, a processor is running a user mode process and a kernel mode process (e.g. hardware event, like a disk being pulled out) requires processor time.
Hardware interrupt vs Software interrupt
각 필드는 리눅스의 시간 표시 단위인 jiffy로 나타낸다.
Jiffy: system timer interrupt에 의한 one tick를 나타내는 단위. 기본적으로 100Hz (0.01초)
그 외 추가 정보
The "intr" line gives counts of interrupts serviced since boot time, for each of the possible system interrupts. The first column is the total of all interrupts serviced; each subsequent column is the total for that particular interrupt.
The "ctxt" line gives the total number of context switches across all CPUs.
The "btime" line gives the time at which the system booted, in seconds since the Unix epoch (January 1, 1970).
The "processes" line gives the number of processes and threads created, which includes (but is not limited to) those created by calls to the fork() and clone() system calls.
The "procs_running" line gives the number of processes currently running on CPUs (Linux 2.5.45 onwards)
The "procs_blocked" line gives the number of processes currently blocked, waiting for I/O to complete (Linux 2.5.45 onwards)
