So I've was listening to a conversation on one of my nodes today. I looked used the top command and I saw around 180 to 190 percent. Is this possible for it to read over 100 percent?

Top compares the cycles used by a process to the cycles possible in a thread. A multithreaded process fully utilizing all four cores can therefore show CPU usage up to 400%. On my 6 core 12 thread CPUs I often see 1200% in top for CPU intensive applications. -Willem ================================================================ Dr. Willem A.
