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.
