The following information shows that there are in total 4 Processors on this machine:
Does the command top reveal this information clearly?
Besides, the load average is:
1.12, 1.26, 1.32
over 1 which means over 100% CPU utilization. But what I understand is if there are 4 processors then the value of 1 would mean only 25% CPU utilization in total. Is this correct?
Next, the top command shows that the following java process is utilizing 142.9% of the CPU resource:
Is this value relative to the total capacity of the CPU (with all its 4 processors)?
Can you please help me make it clear to myself what those things (4 processors, load average, 142.9 %CPU for Java) are showing exactly? How do they relate to each other?
we have an unix system which has
load average normally about 20.
but while i am running a particular unix batch which performs heavy
operations on filesystem and database average load
reduces to 15.
how can we explain this situation?
while running that batch idle cpu time is about %60-65... (0 Replies)
Hello all, I have a question about load averages.

Hi Folks,
We have 6 processors in our sun server. I do see that CPU usage by one of the processor is always more than 70-80% and for remaining 5 processors, its only 20%. Is there a way to delegate the excess CPU load on one of the processors in server to other processors in same server? Is... (3 Replies)

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.
