Load average in UNIX

Hi ,

I am using 48 CPU sunOS server at my work.

The application has facility to check the current load average before starting a new process to control the load.

Right now it is configured as 48. So it does mean that each CPU can take maximum one proces and no processe is waiting.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

I am planing to change it 72. Will it have any adverse effect in processing speed.

Please help me on this.

Thanks in advance
kumaran R

NAME
wmbubble - system load monitor SYNOPSIS
wmbubble [options] [program1] [program2] DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the wmbubble command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. wmbubble is a dockapp-style CPU, memory, swap and load average monitor. Based on the GNOME BubbleMon applet, this program has been consid- erably improved. The higher the water level, the more memory is in use. The more profuse the bubbles, the higher the CPU usage. There is also a real-time CPU percentage display. When the mouse is moved into the window, the display will change to show the load history, or, if the right shift is held, the current mem- ory usage. If you press the right mouse button, the window will freeze in that state. You can unfreeze the display by pressing the right mouse button again. program1 and program2 are the programs to spawn when either the left or middle mouse button is pressed, respectively. OPTIONS
-d disable swimming duck -u disable upside-down duck -c disable CPU meter -m disable memory screen -p use alternative color scheme in memory info screen -k display memory and swap statistics in megabytes -h display help AUTHOR
wmbubble was written by timecop <timecop@japan.co.jp> This manual page was written by John H. Robinson, IV <jaqque@debian.org>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others). March 28, 2004 WMBUBBLE(1x)
