SQLProcessUtilization counter above 100%

  • Does anyone know why/when this counter exceeds 100%?

    It is obtained from sys.dm_os_ring_buffers DMV. normally it matches external CPU Utilization from resource manager but I have a workload where it goes to 190% (roughly double of actual 80% host utilization)

    I believe this is occurring when thread pooling kicks in, i.e. workload exceeded max_worker_thread limit.

    Physical host with NO Hyper-threading or Virtualization. Plain cores.

    Thanks!

  • Quick question, does the see er have two cores / CPUs?

    😎

  • Two sockets @ 10 core each = 20.
