Reported Statistics

The following table shows the statistics the tegrastats utility reports.

Statistic

X

Z

RAM X/Y (lfb NxZ)

Largest Free Block (lfb) is a statistic about the memory allocator. It refers to the largest contiguous block of physical memory that can currently be allocated: at most 4 MB. It can become smaller with memory fragmentation.

The physical allocations in virtual memory can be bigger.

Amount of RAM in use in MB.

Total amount of RAM available for applications.

Z is the size of the largest free block, N the number of free blocks of this size.

CPU [X%,Y%, , ]@Z

or

CPU [X%@Z, Y%@Z,...]

X and Y are rough approximations based on time spent in the system idle process as reported by the Linux kernel in /proc/stat.

Load statistics for each of the CPU cores relative to the current running frequency Z, or 'off' in case a core is currently powered down.

Load statistics for each of the CPU cores relative to the current running frequency Z, or 'off' in case a core is currently powered down.

CPU frequency in megahertz. Goes up or down dynamically depending on the CPU workload.

GR3D_FREQ X%@Y GR3D2_FREQ X%@Y

GR3D is the iGPU engine. GR3D_FREQ is for GPC0, GR3D2_FREQ is for GPC1

Percent of the GR3D that is being used, relative to the current running frequency.

GR3D frequency in megahertz

X1@Y1C X2@Y2C X3@Y3C...

X1, X2, X3 denote the list of the available sensors

The sensor name

The sensor's temperature in Celsius
