A while back in this thread, Stephane Jakob I think asked how are you determining that only 1 processor is handling all your "jobs"?
Are you just assuming that from the "top" output? If so, you can toggle to the top multicore view by running "top" and then hitting "1" during interactive mode. By default, top now seems to only present a totall all CPU view like so: top - 09:59:30 up 21:10, 1 user, load average: 0.01, 0.02, 0.00 Tasks: 212 total, 1 running, 211 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 0.0%us, 0.0%sy, 0.0%ni, 99.9%id, 0.1%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Mem: 1048576k total, 955960k used, 92616k free, 14328k buffers Swap: 1048568k total, 94884k used, 953684k free, 85968k cached but if you toggle to the all cpu view it my BL460C running RHEL 5.2 x86_64 looks like this (not doing much right now): top - 10:00:21 up 21:11, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.00 Tasks: 227 total, 1 running, 226 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu0 : 0.4%us, 0.3%sy, 0.0%ni, 96.9%id, 2.5%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Cpu1 : 0.1%us, 0.1%sy, 0.0%ni, 99.7%id, 0.2%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Cpu2 : 0.0%us, 0.1%sy, 0.0%ni, 99.9%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Cpu3 : 0.0%us, 0.1%sy, 0.0%ni, 99.8%id, 0.1%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Cpu4 : 0.0%us, 0.0%sy, 0.0%ni, 99.9%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Cpu5 : 0.0%us, 0.1%sy, 0.0%ni, 99.9%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Cpu6 : 0.0%us, 0.0%sy, 0.0%ni,100.0%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Cpu7 : 0.0%us, 0.0%sy, 0.0%ni, 99.8%id, 0.1%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Mem: 1048576k total, 959672k used, 88904k free, 14536k buffers Swap: 1048568k total, 94884k used, 953684k free, 86052k cached On Wed, Feb 18, 2009 at 8:33 PM, xateayam <[email protected]> wrote: > On Wed, Feb 18, 2009 at 11:02 PM, Tom Sightler <[email protected]> > wrote: > > On Wed, 2009-02-18 at 09:29 -0600, Eugene Vilensky wrote: > >> Sorry for top posting.
