Hi!
A few weeks ago I built me a Dual-Celeron(Mendocino 300A)-463 MHz system.
All works fine (except I have to evolve the cooling system), even Linux
works great (2.1.124), but here my question:
Running a single 100%-usage-application (i.e. BladeEnc to compress MP3
files) this application not runs on one of the two processors the whole
time, but hops between the two processors. This happens between 0.1 and 3
times per second (i.e., sometimes it changes 3 times per second, sometimes
it keeps one processor for 10 seconds and longer.) xosview shows this: At
one time, CPU0 has 100% and CPU1 has 0%, then this changes to see CPU0 at
0% and CPU1 at 100%.
Is this intended to be? What are the causes for this? Balanced
utilitzation? Cache management (the Celerons just have 128 kB of cache
each?) A bug (don't think so :-)?) Where can I get further information on
this?
Winscheichwos,
