RE: Kernel load reporting

Matt,

Yes, I am now.  Just to see if I could reproduce the problem, I downloaded a
distributed.net client and fired it up.  I've got a 2-way system running, so
both of them are running at 100%, but like you, that doesn't show up in the
list of processes.

Subject: Kernel load reporting


I am testing RH AS 3.0 beta1 on a Compaq/HP DL740 w/ 8 x 2Ghz Xeon
processors w/ 64Gb of RAID memory and I am getting weird load reporting.

At any given point in time I will have 8 Seti processes running on the
system and nothing else of significance.  Using top, I show all 8 CPU's
are hovering around 100%, but each individual process will never show
higher than a few percentage points.  These processes have been 'niced'.
This is odd, b/c I have seen other processes jump to report a CPU
percentage of 80% and higher.  

Has anyone seen this behavior?
