This systems is CPU bound:
I made the run-queue for kernel threads bold. According to that you can see that there is all CPU-time used up for user and system while at same time idle is zero.
The top ten of your CPU-using processes might not help since there could be loads of small processes, that use only a bit of CPU-time but all together a big amount.
You might want to check top for a longer listing when this ps aux is not running and also you might check with a ps piped into awk for example to count how many processes are using how much CPU, as a summary.
You can try something like
It is not very exact but it adds the CPU-time in % of the same commands up.
It could be that the box has so much trouble because there is something uneffectively written/configured in the software or if everything is allright, it might need more CPUs. Just a guess so far - you have to monitor and research more.

We have a AIX v5.3 on a p5 system with a poor performing Ingres database.
We added one CPU to the system to see if this would help. Now there are two CPU's.

with topas I only see good results in the process output screen, the... (1 Reply)

About 4 years ago I wrote this tool inspired by Rob Urban's collect tool for DEC's Tru64 Unix. What makes this tool as different as collect was in its day is its ability to run at a low overhead and collect tons of stuff. I've expanded the general concept and even include data not available in... (0 Replies)
I basically want to login into different linux machines( on the same network) from a windows machine. I know i can use ssh <machine name>. But i want to automate this process.

pmccontrol
PMCCONTROL(8) BSD System Manager's Manual PMCCONTROL(8)NAME
pmccontrol -- control hardware performance monitoring counters
SYNOPSIS
pmccontrol [-c cpu | -d pmc | -e pmc] ...
pmccontrol -l
pmccontrol -L
pmccontrol -s
DESCRIPTION
The pmccontrol utility controls the operation of the system's hardware performance monitoring counters.
OPTIONS
The pmccontrol utility processes options in command line order, so later options modify the effect of earlier ones. The following options
are available:
-c cpu Subsequent enable and disable options affect the CPU denoted by argument cpu. The argument cpu is a number denoting a CPU in the
system, or ``*'', denoting all unhalted CPUs in the system.
-d pmc Disable PMC number pmc on the CPU specified by -c, preventing it from being used till subsequently re-enabled. The argument pmc is a
number denoting a specific PMC, or ``*'' denoting all the PMCs on the specified CPU.
Only idle PMCs may be disabled.
-e pmc Enable PMC number pmc, on the CPU specified by -c, allowing it to be used in the future. The argument pmc is a number denoting a
specific PMC, or ``*'' denoting all the PMCs on the specified CPU. If PMC pmc is already enabled, this option has no effect.
-l List available hardware performance counters and their current disposition.
-L List available hardware performance counter classes and their supported event names.
-s Print driver statistics maintained by hwpmc(4).
EXAMPLES
To disable all PMCs on all CPUs, use the command:
pmccontrol -d*
To enable all PMCs on all CPUs, use:
pmccontrol -e*
To disable PMCs 0 and 1 on CPU 2, use:
pmccontrol -c2 -d0 -d1
To disable PMC 0 of CPU 0 only, and enable all other PMCS on all other CPUs, use:
pmccontrol -c* -e* -c0 -d0
DIAGNOSTICS
The pmccontrol utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
SEE ALSO pmc(3), pmclog(3), hwpmc(4), pmcstat(8), sysctl(8)HISTORY
The pmccontrol utility first appeared in FreeBSD 6.0.
