Currently my S3 shows this:

Load: 1.36 1.45 1.39

I know it's not important to me because the S3 runs as expected, still I'd like to know what load means.

Its a Linux thing, you can read below:

This is a great question and one where I am familiar with the answer somewhat.

Thanks MC for your reference. Could you elaborate on how a ASIC relates to the context of dual core or multiprocessor and how we should view it relative to the load?
For example the Multiple cores tells us to view a higher load value as normal. What are the Asic chips considered in comparison to Single General Instruction set processors, dual core, and multi processors with single cores? I understand the relativity between the general instruction set configurations, e.g. a dual core is similar to physical single core actual processors.

I will use three of my currently running, separate generation, random miners:
1. An S3+ load is 2.10, 1.83, 1.77.
I have it clocked at: 250M/0750V with Hash Rate showing: Elapsed: 1d 14h 59m 38s | GH/S(5s) 514.96 | GH/S(avg) 504.10

2. An S5+ load is 1.22, 1.15, 1.14
I have it clocked at the factory settings: 325M / No option to set voltage with Hash Rate showing: Elapsed: 5d23h55m21s | GH/S(5s) 7,537.92 | GH/S(avg) 7,669.29
^-> Unfortunately this S5+ runs at this 7.6 range most of the time, but eh, it is running and has been a solid performer so I will keep it.

3. An S7 load is: 0.95, 0.83, 0.84
It has been clocked at the settings it came with from Bitmain. (I honor warranty requirements until warranty expires.) 600.00M / Again no option to set the voltage. Hash Rate showing: Elapsed 5d23h54m31s | GH/S(5s) 4,577.37 | GH/S(avg) 4,852.20

As the link you provided shows a clear correlation of what your level of concern should be compared the load amount relative to processor type and quantity. What is your understanding of the Asic comparison to General Instruction processor regarding the load values?

TYVM for your insight.





Transaction fees go to the pools and the pools decide to pay them to the miners. Anything else, including off-chain solutions are stealing and not the way Bitcoin was intended to function.
Make the block size set by the pool. Pool = miners and they get the choice.

Load is specific to the controllers CPU, this has nothing to do with the ASIC's other then the miner running to give work to the ASICs.
