I have a 2-processor machine. Kernel 2.2.14.
As an experiment, I ran 2 setiathome-clients together with a
client from some other distributed-computing tasking. All
three of them were reniced to the lowest priority possible.
I epected to see that all 3 of them would have +/- 30%
processor usage (`top' running with a interval of 4 seconds).
Instead I got this:
PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT LIB %CPU %MEM TIME
COMMAND
199 root 20 19 13588 13M 552 R N 0 42.1 10.6 2:50
setiathome
204 root 20 19 700 700 568 R N 0 32.3 0.5 3:18
gf_client
118 root 20 19 14100 13M 552 R N 0 24.7 11.0 5:20
setiathome
212 root 1 0 1056 1056 868 R 0 0.4 0.8 0:01 top
194 root 1 0 3824 3824 2808 S 0 0.1 2.9 0:00
konsole
If it would have been something like 40% for both the
setiathome processes, and 20% for the gf_client, it would've
made sense (=> in that case, the gf_client would do relatively
more I/O calls then the setiathome-client), but this is not
clear to me. Could anyone explain this please?
Thanks.
