There's also a great project at SourceForge called "htop" that is a "better" version of top. It includes the ability to query for and set processor affinity for abitrary processes, colorized output, tree- based output (showing process hierarchies), etc. It's pretty nice (IMHO):

you can also press "f" while"top" is running and choose option "j"
 this way you will see  what CPU is chosen under column P

Run 'top' For long running applications you should see 4 processes
each at 50%  (4*50=200% two cpus).

You are ok, your hello_c did what it should, each of thoese 'hello's
could have came from any of the two cpus.

Also if your only running on your local machine, you don't need a
hostfile, and -byslot is meaningless in this case,

mpirun -np 4 ./hello_c

Would work just fine.
