Reading /proc/stat values to get cpu usage throws DivideByZeroException

I have been following this stack overflow article :
Accurate calculation of CPU usage given in percentage in Linux?
It is written in different language so I decided to follow the logic and convert it to C#.
public class HardwareInfoManager : IHardwareInfoManager
{
private IConfiguration Configuration;
private List<long> oldCpuStatistics;
private List<long> newCpuStatistics;
public HardwareInfoManager(IConfiguration Configuration)
{
this.Configuration = Configuration;
oldCpuStatistics = new List<long>();
newCpuStatistics = new List<long>();
}
private decimal GetCPUUsage()
{
string cpuUsagePath = "//proc//stat";
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
if (File.Exists(cpuUsagePath) && oldCpuStatistics.IsNullOrEmpty())
{
SaveIntsFromFilePath(cpuUsagePath, oldCpuStatistics);
Task.Delay(200);
GetCPUUsage();
}
if (File.Exists(cpuUsagePath) && !oldCpuStatistics.IsNullOrEmpty())
{
SaveIntsFromFilePath(cpuUsagePath, newCpuStatistics);
var prevIdle = oldCpuStatistics[3] + oldCpuStatistics[4];
decimal idle = newCpuStatistics[3] + newCpuStatistics[4];
var prevNonIdle = oldCpuStatistics[0] + oldCpuStatistics[1] + oldCpuStatistics[2] + oldCpuStatistics[5] + oldCpuStatistics[6] + oldCpuStatistics[7];
decimal nonIdle = newCpuStatistics[0] + newCpuStatistics[1] + newCpuStatistics[2] + newCpuStatistics[5] + newCpuStatistics[6] + newCpuStatistics[7];
var prevTotal = prevIdle + prevNonIdle;
decimal total = idle + nonIdle;
var totalDifference = total - prevTotal;
var idleDifference = idle - prevIdle;
decimal cpuPercentage = (totalDifference - idleDifference / totalDifference) * 100;
cpuPercentage = Math.Round(cpuPercentage, 2);
return cpuPercentage;
}
else
{
return 0;
}
}
private List<long> SaveIntsFromFilePath(string path, List<long> longList)
{
var firstLineOfCPUFile = File.ReadAllLines(path).First();
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i < firstLineOfCPUFile.Length; i++)
{
//take first index of a number until it reaches a whitespace, add to an int array
if (Char.IsNumber(firstLineOfCPUFile[i]))
{
sb.Append(firstLineOfCPUFile[i]);
//start with this index until it reaches whitespace
}
if (Char.IsWhiteSpace(firstLineOfCPUFile[i]) && i > 5)
{
longList.Add(long.Parse(sb.ToString()));
sb.Clear();
//start with this index until it reaches whitespace
}
}
sb.Clear();
return longList;
}
}
Unable to debug this as it runs on a remote raspberry machine , it throws this error:
Job HardwareInfo.HardwareInfo threw an exception.
Quartz.SchedulerException: Job threw an unhandled exception. --->
System.DivideByZeroException: Attempted to divide by zero.
95% of the time it throws the exception because of the totaldifference being 0. In the other cases it works and throws the whole info such as this:
"TenantId":null,"Hostname":"DEV1\n","Temperature":66.218,"MemoryStats":{"MemoryTotal":"1985984
kB","MemoryFree":"1072468 kB","MemoryAvailable":"1438552
kB"},"CPUUsage":0.0
Please advise, I am stuck for 2 days on this now.

Monotorrent does not download files

I'm developing an application that needs to download a directory (11 GB in size), via torrent, but it only creates 0 byte files. When testing with a small volume (~ 100 MB) - everything is fine. I tried torrent files from different trackers, nothing happened. What's wrong? Help...

Odd C# behavior

I'm a hobby programmer.
I tried to ask this question earlier on a very unstructured way (Sorry again), now I try to ask on the proper way.
I wrote the following code that seems to work unreliably.
The code was written like this for several reasons. I know it's messy but it should still work. To explain why I wrote it like this would mean that I need to explain several weeks' of work that is quite extensive. Please accept that this is at least the least worse option I could figure out. In the below sample I removed all sections of the code that are not needed to reproduce the error.
What this program does in a nutshell:
The purpose is to check a large number of parameter combinations for a program that receives streaming data. I simulate the original process to test parameter combinations.
First data is read from files that represents recorded streaming data.
Then the data is aggregated.
Then I build a list of parameters to test for.
Finally I run the code for each parameter combination in parallel.
Inside the parallel part I calculate a financial indicator called the bollinger bands. This is a moving average with adding +/- standard deviation. This means the upper line and the lower line should only be equal when variable bBandDelta = 0. However sometimes it happens that CandleList[slot, w][ctr].bollingerUp is equal to CandleList[slot, w][ctr].bollingerDown even when bBandDelta is not 0.
As a result I don't understand how can line 277 kick in. It seems that sometimes the program fails to write to the CandleList[slot, w][ctr]. However this should not be possible because (1) I lock the list and (2) I use ConcurrentBag. Could I have some help please?

Multiple while conditions

I want to output a timer in console which goes from 00h00m00s to 23h59m59s.
My code only outputs until 00h00m59s.
Must be the conditions in after the while, but i think it is correct.
Who knows how to solve this ?
static void Main(string[] args)
{
int uur = 0;
int min = 0;
int sec = 0;
while (uur != 23 && min!=60 && sec!=60)
{
if (sec == 60)
{
min++;
sec = 0;
}
if (min == 60)
{
uur++;
min = 0;
}
string strSec = String.Format("{0:00}", sec);
string strMin = String.Format("{0:00}", min);
string strUur = String.Format("{0:00}", uur);
Console.WriteLine(strUur + "h" + strMin + "m" + strSec + "s");
sec++;
}
Console.ReadLine();
}

Use the following condition:
while (uur != 23 || min != 59 || sec != 60)
You might also want to try this simpler approach:
int total_second_in_day = 24*60*60;
for (int second_in_day = 0; second_in_day < total_second_in_day; second_in_day++)
{
int uur = second_in_day / 3600;
int min = (second_in_day % 3600) / 60;
int sec = (second_in_day % 3600) % 60;
string strSec = String.Format("{0:00}", sec);
string strMin = String.Format("{0:00}", min);
string strUur = String.Format("{0:00}", uur);
Console.WriteLine(strUur + "h" + strMin + "m" + strSec + "s");
}
Console.ReadLine();

Although your question is basically about understanding while conditions this is how you could achieve printing all times:
using System;
public class Program
{
public static void Main()
{
var time = new TimeSpan(0,0,0,0);
var oneSec = new TimeSpan(0,0,0,1);
var wakeywakey = new TimeSpan(0,23,59,59);
while (time <= wakeywakey)
{
Console.WriteLine(time);
time += oneSec;
}
}
}

D3 plotter and file watcher, interference?

I am using file watcher monitoring the file output, and then dynamically display the results using d3 (dynamic data display). Here is more details:
Data are series of tiff file generated one by one quickly (20-25 miliseconds per file generation);
Once there is a file coming in, event is fired, and the file is processed (some stats calculation);
The results will be sent to a d3 plotter, which will dynamically display the results on a charter.
When I close the d3 charter window, the file watcher catcher pretty much all the events, but here is my problem:
However, when I leave the d3 charter window open, even when there is not any stats calculation, the file watcher drop many events (some big gap occurs).
Here is what we have tried:
Increase the watcher buffer, but, it still drop events as long as the d3 charter window is open.
Using C++ dll to calculate stats, but it looks even more slow.
So I am wondering:
Do d3 plotter and file watcher conflict/interfere with each other?
Can I possibly use them together to to real time plot?
Is there anyway to get around my problem?
Any pointers are appreciated.
Here is the code for d3 plotter, including constructor, plotter initiator, and plotter update:

Here is how files are monitored:
Where events (file written) are filed
void tiffWatcher_EventChanged(object sender, WatcherExEventArgs e)
{
string fileName = ((FileSystemEventArgs)(e.Arguments)).FullPath;
string fileExt = StringExtension.GetLast(fileName, 4);
if (!IsFileLocked(fileName))
{
Action EventFinished = delegate()
{
CreateListViewItem(fileName, "Finished", DateTime.Now.ToString("HH:mm:ss.fff"));
};
listView1.Dispatcher.Invoke(System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherPriority.Normal, EventFinished);
_tiffName.Add( fileName);
_tiffFilledCount++;
}
}
tiff data processing, and data communication to d3 plotter:
void tiffTimer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//throw new NotImplementedException();
byte[] image = new byte[_signalManager.ImgWidth * _signalManager.ImgHeight];
if (_tiffFilledCount - _tiffProcessedCount >= 1)
{
string fileName = _tiffName[_tiffProcessedCount++];
char filePre = fileName[49];
int indexBeigin = fileName.LastIndexOf("_");
int indexEnd = fileName.LastIndexOf(".");
_signalIndex = Convert.ToInt32(fileName.Substring(indexBeigin + 1, indexEnd - indexBeigin - 1)) - 1; // 0 based//
_deltaT = ExtractTiffDeltaT(fileName, "DeltaT=", 1);
_channelIndex = (int)Enum.Parse(typeof(ChannelList), Convert.ToString(filePre));
TIFFIImageIO.LoadTIFF(fileName, ref image);
_signalManager.Image = image;
for (int i = 0; i < _nActiveStatsOneChannel; i++)
{
_signalManager.GetSignal( _signalDisplay.StatsEnableIndex[i], ref _signal);
UpdateSignal(_channelIndex, i, _tiffProcessedCount-1, _deltaT, _signal);
}
// if( _tiffProcessedCount % 5 == 0)
_signalDisplay.SetData(_XList, _YList, true);
}
}
I use a Timer.Tick to process the file every 50-100 miliseconds, still testing.

The way I handled it was to setup a Timer, cyclically handling calculation, display. So far, it works fine. Of course there will be many events are missing, but we handle large amount of points (thousands of them), so it is OK to hundreds to do the plot. Here is the code:
private Timer _tiffTimer;
void Window1_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
//throw new NotImplementedException();
_tiffTimer = new Timer();
_tiffTimer.Interval = 50; // change interval to change performance
_tiffTimer.Tick += new EventHandler(tiffTimer_Tick);
_tiffTimer.Start();
}
void tiffTimer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//do your stuff here
}
