How to display percentage of CPU load info set by stress-ng utility at specific interval into terminal?

Solution 1:

Depending on your processor make and model, you might be able to use turbostat (linux-tools-common package) to get what you want. It works with most recent Intel processors and, if your version of turbostat is new enough, many AMD processors.

Example, where I have a 12 instances of a program running at 80% utilization at a work/sleep frequency of 273 hertz on a 6 core 12 CPU Intel 10600K processor, and I am sampling at 6 seconds per sample:

$ sudo turbostat --quiet --show Core,CPU,Busy%,Bzy_MHz,IRQ,PkgWatt,PkgTmp --interval 6
