Ok, I understand that the kernal manages both the process distribution. But
let's say I am running 10 game servers (for instance) which do not support smp.
Does Linux-smp distribute the load over both processors? Or does it assign 1
proc here 1 proc there, etc? Is there a way for me to help Linux :0] ?
As far as top is concerned, I am just wondering if there is a program that splits
the processor % up.....the version I have reports 3 processes that are utilizing
the cpu the most (the rest are negligable or less than 2% of the processor).
Process1 = 49.4% Process2=33.4% Process3=27.8%
Now, I am no math whiz, but if you add that up, you get 110.6%! So, whats up
with that? I take it for granted that top just sees both processors as having a
top of 100%, giving the smp system a 200% total. But, I would like to see
utilization broken up amongst both processors, so process1=24.7%proc1 24.7%proc2
(guestimation) process2=16.7%proc1 16.7%proc2 (guestimation) process3=13.9%proc1
13.9%proc2 (guestimation)
so that I can get a general idea of how the non-smp software is being allocated
by the kernel. Is there any utility out that can break down processes on both
processors, or will have to script my own......
Thanks again!!!
