Hi, Having some issues with Hyperthreading: It sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. What happens is sometimes when I boot I can get both processors running processes but sometimes CPU01 won't run anything. Any Ideas? I'm using setiathome because it easy to load a CPU. I have tried the processes niced or not. There is no difference. And I can't seem to get anything else to run cpu01 either. Here's my config and what I am seeing: Top: 13:28:40 up 1 min, 1 user, load average: 1.00, 0.40, 0.15 70 processes: 66 sleeping, 4 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped CPU states: cpu user nice system irq softirq iowait idle 13:55:26 up 28 min, 1 user, load average: 2.15, 2.02, 1.65 72 processes: 67 sleeping, 5 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped CPU states: cpu user nice system irq softirq iowait idle total 0.0% 99.0% 0.8% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 100.0% cpu00 0.0% 99.0% 0.9% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% cpu01 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 100.0% Mem: 496992k av, 241268k used, 255724k free, 0k shrd, 13876k buff 58984k active, 165180k inactive Swap: 2096376k av, 0k used, 2096376k free 76840k cached PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM TIME CPU COMMAND 5751 root 26 1 13908 13M 276 R N 53.4 2.7 13:25 0 setiathome 5750 root 26 1 13908 13M 276 R N 45.4 2.7 13:29 0 setiathome 5811 root 16 0 1092 1092 888 R 0.9 0.2 0:00 0 top 1 root 16 0 428 428 368 S 0.0 0.0 0:04 0 init 2 root RT 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 swapper 3 root RT 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:00 1 swapper 4 root 16 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 keventd 5 root 34 19 0 0 0 SWN 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 ksoftirqd/0 6 root 39 19 0 0 0 SWN 0.0 0.0 0:00 1 ksoftirqd/1 8 root 25 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 bdflush 7 root 25 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 kswapd 9 root 15 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 kupdated 10 root 24 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 mdrecoveryd 22 root 25 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 scsi_eh_0 23 root 25 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 scsi_eh_1 27 root 25 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 raid1d 28 root 25 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 raid1d 29 root 25 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 raid1d 30 root 15 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 kjournald 92 root 15 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 khubd 4566 root 15 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 kjournald 4909 root 16 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 knodemgrd_0 5235 root 15 0 572 572 492 S 0.0 0.1 0:00 0 syslogd 5239 root 15 0 380 380 316 S 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 klogd 5250 root 16 0 368 368 304 S 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 irqbalance 5268 rpc 16 0 580 580 504 S 0.0 0.1 0:00 0 portmap 5284 root 17 0 832 832 700 S 0.0 0.1 0:00 0 apcupsd 5388 named 18 0 2100 2100 1688 S 0.0 0.4 0:00 0 named 5403 root 16 0 1424 1424 1296 S 0.0 0.2 0:00 0 sshd 5415 root 16 0 976 972 844 S 0.0 0.1 0:00 0 xinetd 5431 ntp 16 0 3808 3808 2204 S 0.0 0.7 0:00 0 ntpd 5442 root 18 0 476 476 396 S 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 vsftpd 5462 root 16 0 3172 3168 2216 S 0.0 0.6 0:00 0 sendmail 5467 smmsp 16 0 2308 2300 1788 S 0.0 0.4 0:00 0 sendmail Uname: [root@calvin seti2]# uname -a Linux calvin.minorplanet.org 2.4.22-1.2140.nptlsmp #1 SMP Tue Jan 6 20:11:24 EST 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux CPUINFO: [root@calvin seti2]# cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 15 model : 2 model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.60GHz stepping : 9 cpu MHz : 2593.715 cache size : 512 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 2 fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 2 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe cid runqueue : 0 bogomips : 5177.34 processor : 1 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 15 model : 2 model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.60GHz stepping : 9 cpu MHz : 2593.715 cache size : 512 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 2 fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 2 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe cid runqueue : 0 bogomips : 5177.34 [root@calvin seti2]# Any Ideas?
