I've got an embedded device that runs BusyBox v1.16.1, and its top command includes the following Load average output:

Load average: 0.00 0.00 0.00 1/304 9357

I can't seem to find any documentation on what the last two values represent, e.g. "1/304" and "9357". Can anyone explain these values? Thanks!

from top.c, line 39 (from busybox snapshot), there's a mention of /proc/loadavg

cp /proc/stat /proc/meminfo /proc/loadavg .

On my system right now, I see:

0.11 0.23 0.27 1/564 21830

RedHat Documentation explains it like this:

The first three columns measure CPU and IO utilization of the last one, five, and 10 minute periods. The fourth column shows the number of currently running processes and the total number of processes. The last column displays the last process ID used.
