detectActiveCores: Count Active Threads Based on CPU Usage

Description

This function counts the number of active system processes (threads) that match a given pattern and exceed a specified minimum CPU usage threshold. It works on Unix-like systems (e.g., Linux, macOS) and does not support Windows.

Usage

detectActiveCores(pattern = "", minCPU = 50)

Value

An integer representing the number of active threads matching the pattern and exceeding the CPU usage threshold. Returns NULL with a message if run on Windows.

Arguments

pattern

A character string used to filter process lines. Only processes whose command line matches this pattern will be considered. Default is "" (matches all).

minCPU

A numeric value specifying the minimum CPU usage (in percent) for a process to be considered active. Default is 50.

Examples

Run this code
detectActiveCores(pattern = "R", minCPU = 30)
