Wenguo, I installed ganglia on one of our single processor xeon machines. When I updated the page for the cluster the cpu count only increased by 2 cpus. The page for that machine lists the machine as having only 2 processors, not 4.
I would recommend looking at /proc/cpuinfo if you are running linux. We see that each physical processor shows up as two logical processors that share the same physical id and runqueue number.
