Hello,
Hardware: bi-pro. Intel Xeon E5520, so /proc/cpuinfo display 16 processors.
OS: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
Usage of this computer: lot of long computations
top displays:
top - 13:26:09 up 29 days, 2:10, 5 users, load average: 9.15, 9.12, 9.09
Tasks: 352 total, 10 running, 341 sleeping, 0 stopped, 1 zombie
Cpu(s): 75.7%us, 2.7%sy, 0.0%ni, 21.6%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st
Mem: 74372776k total, 29699520k used, 44673256k free, 248240k buffers
Swap: 134223032k total, 5408k used, 134217624k free, 929532k cached
so it has an uptime of 9. But only 8 processes displays %CPU near 100%.
ps augxww | grep 11011 displays:
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
xxxxxxx 11011 320096871 4.0 3022636 3007260 ? R< Mar09 17179869:11 ./someprog
So for process 11011:
%CPU = 320096871
%MEM = 4.0
VSZ = 3022636
RSS = 3007260
TTY = ?
STAT = R
START = Mar09
TIME = 17179869:11, TIME?
strace -p 11011 has nothing to display.
May I assume that process 11011 runs, since uptime is 9?
What is this strange %CPU??
Thanks for your help,
