finding process with maximum CPU usage

Question

To get all the process list im using Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI),and code is :

import wmi
c = wmi.WMI ()

for process in c.Win32_Process ():
  print process.ProcessId, process.Name

But my question is how could i find the process which utilizes maximum CPU resource ?

@SagarNaliyapara could you post one using python,im confused on that link — Tharif, Apr 02 '15 at 06:10

I would suggest rather than using WMI which is windows specific use psutil which is cross platform, then you can use the process class cpu_percent() method.

can cpu utilization obtained for individual process consumptions as well? – Tharif Apr 02 '15 at 06:18
It is per process - you iterate over the processes to get the consumption of each. – Steve Barnes Apr 02 '15 at 06:24
