It is the OS(Linux/Unix) load average basically.

The load average is calculated as the average number of runnable or running tasks (R state), and the number of tasks in uninterruptible sleep (D state) over the specified interval. You can read the man pages of Linux to get more details.

It s a value calculated by measuring the OS and doing some math.. It basically tries to tell you how loaded your system is.
