Yes, top lies. So are you really saying a single threaded process is using more than one cpu? Don't need much more proof than that.
What does your performance monitor say (can you measure Linux in an LPAR with your performance monitor)??? Normally the processes would be somewhat balanced over the physical CPUs. so 382% would mean 95% utilization overall of the 4 CPUs. Ayer, Paul W wrote:
Good Morning, I have seen notes before that "top lies" but; Looking at a top display sorted by %CPU I see some processes using over 200 or 300 % CPU. This LPAR has 4 IFL's installed and the Linux has access to all four. Can we use the %cpu below 400 % as an indicator that we are not using all four at that moment? Also if the %cpu says lets say ... 382% are we using 100% of two CPU's and 82% of the third maybe? Any input or ideas here would be great.
