Ubuntu :: 10.04 Recognizes Two CPUs And Two Cores On Four Core CPU
Jun 23, 2010I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 x64, and I have an AMD Phenom 2 x4 940 CPU. First I have to underline that four cores worked perfectly in previous versions of Ubuntu as well as Windows.
When looking at system monitor it tells me that I have two CPUs/Cores, it should be four.
This is the output of CPU info:
Code:
processor: 0
vendor_id: AuthenticAMD

Ubuntu :: 1 Of 2 CPUs Always Stuck At 100% Acer Asprire 5738G Dual Core?
May 1, 2010I have fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Added Wine from Software Center but have no any Win apps loaded or running yet. I have also enabled visual Effects and the system installed and enabled NVidia's driver for the video-card after which the picture quality improved.
Here is the screen of my CPU monitor (sorry labels arre in Russian but the charts are quite intuitive) As you can see this 100% load "jumps" from one core to another periodically. On the Processes tab there is nothing fancy:
Less than 10% processes load. I have tried to play with CPU Clock Gnome widget, it doesn't really change the picture whether I use MAX CPU clock of 2Ghz or reduced power-saving 1,2 GHz. I have found couple similar cases on forum but see no solution so far.BTW, I have already launched the update manager and currently Ubuntu does not offer any new updates.

PS. In the attachement - Report of some built in System Diag Tool

Sep 12, 2011Im running 64bit centos 5.6 and using virt-manager.On one of my guest OS's, Windows 7, The max Physical CPUs is 2, you can have unlimited CPU Cores however. (like my machine i use for work has 1, 4 core processor).The issue im having is xen only allows you to set the vcpu arguemnet in your xen config file. How can i set it so that 1 CPU has several Cores just as windows would recognize this machine if i were installing directly to the hardware vs via a VM.Ive searched for 2 days staright trying to address this issue, very little progress, Does anyone know where a XEN support forum is? all i get is the citrix xen support forums.
here is the best info i have found on this, but i dont know how to change this for my CPU to work, when i enter this in my xen config it essentially ignores it and just takes the value of vcpu= so windows shows 2 CPUs each with ONLY one core. Id like 1 or 2 CPUS showing Several cores.The physical Hardware is 2x Xeon 5300 Quad Core CPUs.

Jan 17, 2010I was using Fedora 11 on my previous laptop, a Toshiba Centrino 2-powered model, and I was having issues with the CPU fan not starting up unless I put it to sleep and woke it up again. I no longer have it due to circumstances beyond my control (aka getting mugged), and I'm looking into getting one of Dell's Core i5-powered Inspiron laptops.
On the odd chance that some people here have gotten their hands on one, I was wondering if there's any support for Core i3/i5-powered laptops in Fedora 11, or should I wait for Fedora 12 before I get one? I almost burnt up the Centrino 2 one before I remembered about the fan problem, and I want to avoid that if possible.

OpenSUSE :: Get Application To Utilize More Than One Core In Multi-core Setup?
Mar 27, 2011I have a command line OCR program called OCR Shop XTR (Vividata corp) that I am using on a system with a 6-core AMD chip. I changed the bios so that the 6-cores were activated, but htop shows me that while the program is running, I am only getting activity on one core (the program maxes out the one core with consistent usage between 97% and 100%).
I have read that many programs are not written to take advantage of multiple core cpu's. However, I am just hoping that there is some way to get this program to take advantage of the extra cores. Does anyone know of a way to invoke programs from the command line which would spread the workload out among additional cores?

Debian :: Wheezy Only Recognizes 1 Core Or Dual Core CPU?
Sep 7, 2011I have now installed Wheezy on two different hard drives and in each case it seems only one CPU of my dual core CPU computer is recognized. System Monitor, Gkrellm and lscpu show just one when prior to the new install the old Wheezy showed both CPU's. I have put the hard drive into two other computers with dual core CPU's and all show just one CPU.
Interestingly System Profiler and Benchmark (hardinfo?) > Devices > Processors now show a large amount of processor infomation when with the old Wheezy I would only see both CPU's listed and nothing else.
General :: Only One Core Of Dual Core Processor Are Working
Mar 14, 2011I recently read in a forum that by default the Linux kernel only activates one of two cores in a dual core processor. Searching online gave one option to find out and that was the mpstat command. I therefore ran the command and got the following output.As the result says, it shows only 1 cpu. I was wondering what I could do to activate both cores in my machine, and whether doing so was going to cause me any problems.

2x 3600MHz Xeon CPUs
4GB RAM
Quadro FX3800 PCIe graphics
Dual boot Ubuntu 10.10 32bit (primary use) and XP (gaming use only)
The issue I have is that the CPUs seem to run at 100% constantly in Ubuntu meaning that the CPU fans are constantly at high. This makes the machine sound like a wind tunnel!
It is nice and quiet in XP.
I installed GKrellM monitor which is what is telling me about the 100% CPU useage.
Would using the 64bit Ubuntu make any difference? (dont really want to reinstall tbh)

Ubuntu :: 32 Bit And 2 X 1.66GHz Atom D510 CPUs
Jul 28, 2010I'm buying a new fanless desktop unit with 2 x 1.66GHz Intel Atom D510 CPUs. The vendor calls these a '64-bit processor'. But the unit has just 4Gb of memory and I don't want the fuss of 64-bit for the basic stuff I do. So I asked them to load Lucid-32.
Will the processors work with 32-bit?
The vendor tells me 32-bit won't make full use of the 4GB, only three and a half, but all else will be fine. So they'll load 32 and I'll try a live DVD of 64 in my own time. But I thought 32 bit was fine up to and including 4GB of memory?

Does the installer need to read a label from /etc/fstab?

General :: Processes And CPU 4-core - Which Core The Program Used?
Mar 26, 2011I've a program that launches new processes, and wait for them to die before it exits. So, for example, my program is a process, and it launches 3 more processes, and when the 3 child processes end, it will exit.
As you see, at end of the example, the program used a total number of 4 processes.
1 - Now, I'm running this program in a CPU with 4 cores. This means that the program used each core for each process?
2 - How can I know which core the program used?
Fedora :: CPUs Are Running About 60%?
Feb 13, 2011I've got some weird stuff going on with my F14 setup, I seem to be getting loads of CPU activity with nothing happening! Both CPUs are running about 60% as soon as I log in to my normal account. If I log into another account it drops to about 15%. Sometimes when I log out I get a message saying that 'an unknown process' is still running. Looking at processes it is not apparent what is causing this as nothing is using that much CPU. It does show some processes with no name, which seem to come and go and change ID. The only things I've installed recently are dropbox and myth tv. I've removed dropbox but no change. how I can find out where my CPU time is going!
View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Multimedia :: Use Of Multiple CPUs During 1080p Playback?
Apr 21, 2010I have a high resolution file (1080p) encoded with H.264 and when I play it back, it lags at certain parts (and enough parts to destroy the job of watching the video).
I don't think that my computer is that crappy and it has been able to play many H.264 encoded files with high resolution - so there is always a possibility that this file is just encoded poorly (lacking a better computer, I cannot test).
For information, I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit. I have a Intel Core2 Quad CPU Q9550 (@2.83 GHz). I have 8 GB of RAM (forgot the speed off the top of my head). And a Nvidia GeForce GTX 280 (1 GB of memory).
During the playback, the RAM is far from being completely used; however, it seems that one (and only one) of the cores of my CPU becomes saturated at 100% precisely at the moments in which the file lags. When the CPU utilization is below 100%, there is smooth playback.
My question is - is it possible to use all four cores during playback, or is such a process not capable of easy parallel processing.
Another side question is, how can I be sure that my GPU is being used in the decoding process - or is that also being under-utilized?
Red Hat :: Centos 5.3 - 2 CPUs Are Missing On AMD Phenom II X4

Sep 9, 2010When running cat /proc/cpuinfo under Linux, a variety information is kicked-back. For example:

cpu family : 6
model : 15
model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU 5130 @ 2.00GHz

First, what does all of that actually mean? I see I have a processor 0 and processor 1. Does that mean Linux is reporting both cores of the CPU, or, since it is a VM, the two that I happen to have right now (even if they're on physically different CPUs)?
Second, how can I get a similar information dump form the command line in Windows? Third, is there a way using either platform to determine the number of physical CPUs versus total CPU cores?
