there just have ONLY ONE CORE %sys 100
the top command show average of all cpu core sys% usage
when the one core sys% is 100%
the system are very slow .
e.g: when I create a database instance used for a long time . over 2 hours
but generally it will be done at most 1 hours or shorteris any type of OS virtualization involved in this environment?

Only one CPU core recognized [solved]

For some reason the kernel only recognizes one CPU core out of two. I'm not completely sure at which kernel upgrade it disappeared but it is gone in 2.6.36 and 2.6.37. I know it was still there in september 2010 and earlier. I'm using a x86-64 kernel.

Motherboard is: Gigabyte MA770T-UD3P. I use the latest bios.
I have tried adding the kernel options "acpi=off noacpi apic=off noapic" as to the suggestion of a ubuntu bug report in launchpad but it didn't help. I also disabled ACPI in the bios but I'm still limited to one cpu core.
Any ideas?
[SOLVED]
I just doublechecked the BIOS settings and it had the CPU Core Control set to manual and one core was disabled. I set it to auto again and now both cores are recognized correctly. I don't recall ever touching this setting but at least it works now. Maybe a bios update actually changed the setting or (more probable) a friend of mine.

there just have ONLY ONE CORE %sys 100
the top command show average of all cpu core sys% usage
when the one core sys% is 100%
the system are very slow .
e.g: when I create a database instance used for a long time . over 2 hours
but generally it will be done at most 1 hours or shorteris any type of OS virtualization involved in this environment?

Database uses only one cpu core from 16 available

Hi,
we have an server with 16 CPU cores, and we discovered from em that it uses only 1 core with 100% and the others are idle.
the initialization parameters for CPU are:
cpu_count 16
parallel_threads_per_cpu 2
resource_manager_cpu_allocation 16.
What can we do to use all 16 cores.
Regards

Very interesting poit of view, but since I have for some period of time 1 core on 100% and other cores are idle or 0%,
I don't think that we can say that linux and oracle database 11g is using the best from that server, can you?Well, I did not offer a point of view. I offered fact - a reason why on x86 architecture it is faster to keep threads on the same CPU (if sufficient CPU capacity) then run such threads across CPUs.
As for what you are seeing - we cannot see it. So the only data we have is what you offered. And that does not suffice in making any kind of call as to why you are seeing, or even describing the symptoms correctly.
Why don't you try another example? 3 client server applications. Each client post a request (huge update 100% CPU, small update 0% CPU, huge select 100% CPU). What the server does, it switches between those 2 huge requests an uses only one core on 100% abd the others 15 are sleeping. Why don't use each request on different core and reduce the time?Define "+huge request+". Database operations are typically I/O intensive - not CPU intensive. There are also a number of processes. So if PMON for example is showing high CPU, then that means something different as when DBWR is showing high CPU, versus a dispatcher process showing high CPU.
So you need to provide a lot more detail for us to speculate as to what the problem could be, never mind offering a solution.

Only one CPU core is working during video export from Premiere Media Encoder

Windows Resource Monitor showed cores 'parked' at first. I was able to turn that feature off using regedit. They no longer say they are parked'. but still only one core is at 100% while the other seven cores are at close to zero %. Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-bit. i7-2600k processor 3.4 GHz running at 3.8 GHz XMP setting. ASUS P8Z77-V motherboard 32 GB RAM.
I had this problem in the past and fixed when I turned off core parking. But, I recently clean installed Windows and problem has returned. I contacted Microsoft and they assured me that the problems lies with Premiere or AME.
it just took over an hour to export a video that should have taken 10 minutes

This has been driving me CRAZY... so going over the message boards from 2 to 5 am this morning I found the best explanation I have seen. The problem is that Adobe Creative Cloud is NOT "Processor Group Aware". Windows parses any more than 36 cores into "Processor Groups" and while the Pro version of Windows 7 & 8 can handle 256 threads they have to spread them across multiple processor groups.
Simple Version: AREA | How many cores does 3ds Max support?
Microsoft's Explanation: Processor Groups (Windows)
Clearly, this is an Adobe Problem... If any engineers are reading this PLEASE review the below and incorporate it into your next build of Creative Cloud!!!

Hi Beck,
Thanks for your reply. I have solved this issue myself. But I come into another issue that during R/3 database reload, system terminate with a message "File SAPSSEXC.012 is missing."
It is very strange cause I only have SAPSSEXC.011 in my folder /51030584_4/EXPORT4/DATA/. Do you have this file?

Multisim 11 only uses one CPU core during simulation

Hi,
Just recently I've been using MultiSim again, v11 if that matters, and simulating goes slow, to my opinion that is.
Now there are two things that I've noticed:
- Multisim only uses one of two CPU cores during simulation, not both;
- I've enabled CPU throttle (AMD's Cool'n'Quiet) but corespeed remains very low even though Multisim needs CPU power while simulating.
The simulating of a NE555-based LED-flash circuit requires about 28 seconds to get to 100ms in the simulation. Now if I can get the CPU to throttle up, by for example having Prime95 stress one of the two cores, then the simulation only requires 12 seconds to get to 100ms.
So here are my two questions:
1. Is Multisim 11 capable of using more than one CPU core while simulating? If yes, how can I get it to use more than one?
2. Probably not the right forum to ask, but is there a way to force Windows 7 Ultimate x64 to throttle up the CPU when Multisim starts simulating? Since Multisim does not seem to stress the only core it uses enough to throttle it up. Using Prime95 on one core does trigger a throttle up.
With regards,
Bart Grefte
Relevant specs:
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Multisim v11
AMD A4-3400
16GB RAM

Completely forgot this topic....
Is there a good reason why there is no multicore support? Multisim can certainly use it for simulating.
As for the CPU throttling, I found a batch that can increase/decrease the "minimum processor state"-setting and it works immediately, no reboot required.
@echo off
powercfg.exe -getactivescheme > "%userprofile%\appdata\~apo.tmp"
set /p v_currentscheme= <"%userprofile%\appdata\~apo.tmp"
set v_currentscheme=%v_currentscheme:~24,36%
del "%userprofile%\appdata\~apo.tmp"
powercfg -setacvalueindex %v_currentscheme% 54533251-82be-4824-96c1-47b60b740d00 893dee8e-2bef-41e0-89c6-b55d0929964c %1
powercfg -setdcvalueindex %v_currentscheme% 54533251-82be-4824-96c1-47b60b740d00 893dee8e-2bef-41e0-89c6-b55d0929964c %1
powercfg -s %v_currentscheme%
exit
Usage is simple:
Start -> run -> c:\pathtobatch.bat 100
for "minimum processor state"-setting at 100%
Start -> run -> c:\pathtobatch.bat 5
for "minimum processor state"-setting at 5%
Please note that "set v_currentscheme=%v_currentscheme:~24,36%" is not the same for every language. The original batch had "set v_currentscheme=%v_currentscheme:~19,36%" (most likely for the English version of Windows 7), but since my Windows install is in Dutch, I had to change it in order for it to work.
Running the batch with @echo off removed will show why.

Dual Core G5 using only one CPU

Anyone has an idea about what happened to me last week? Here is what happened:
I let my dual 2.3 GHz Power Mac G5 run over night to run a certain task. When I came back the following morning, the fans were running like crazy and the computer was frozen. I had to reset it. After that it started up, but from then on only used one CPU. In System Profiler as well as in Activity Monitor, only one CPU is shown. After some more days, it would not turn on anymore, not even with one CPU.
What to do now? Thanks for helping me out...

It is insurance. It keeps a system running so you can do a safe shutdown. It protects the boot drive from directory corruption. Protects wired ethernet port from getting fried (someone last week's sad tale).
"Nice idea." Well, yes. Can you drive a car without insurance? I'll take UPS and help protect my systems.
If you want to leave a system running unattended and not come back to a dead or dying system... I have read enough tales of woe that "but it was working yesterday" and "we've had some storms but lights stayed on" that I don't take chances. And I often give advice that isn't 1:1 correlation. Like "backup daily" and "run disk repairs before there is a problem."
maybe it over-heated, too.

Parallelism in oracle using only one dual-core processor

Hi, is usefull or could i use parallel execution in oracle using only one dual core processor?
Can someone explain me why?

Hi
To take advantage of parallel processing you need enough resources (mainly CPU and I/O). If you run serially and the bottleneck is the CPU, then parallel processing might help. On the contrary, if the bottleneck is located in the I/O sub-system, throwing more CPU to it would not make things better. So, it's a question of balance between the CPU and I/O resources you have.

Color using only one CPU?

When rendering with Color it seams that it using only one CPU, according to "top".
Is it possible to make use of all CPUs?

Color's work is done on the GPU not the CPU, so unfortunately, the answer to your question is, no.

Logic 8 using only one CPU while bouncing

Whenever I bounce a project, Logic 8 uses only one CPU. It also spikes this CPU completely, with the CPU meter going into the red area, which is why I am rather keen on persuading Logic to distribute the load.
Any ideas?
(I've given the support document with tips on how to balance multi-core performance a good read, but it doesn't seem to say anything on this particular subject, and following the advice in the document does nothing to change my CPU load.)

Bouncing is a single core process. Just like rendering is in Final Cut Pro. This won't change until Leopard and Apple's ProApps get better at handling multiple cores.
It's redlining because the processor core is working as fast as it can. Computer processors don't just randomly run slower, they use their resources for the tasks at hand. If it only used 50% of a core, the bounce would take twice as long to process.

MobileDeviceHelper running @ 100% on one CPU Core

Hi, anyone suggest anything to fix one of my CPU cores runs MobileDeviceHelper (32Bit) at 100% consistently after iTunes is started.
The machine is a new build with Windows 8 64bit all updates and patches applied. All latest manufacturer chipset and other relevant drivers and every other part of the machine works perfectly. If I end the process, distnoted (32 bit) then replaces it and takes over with another core running at 100%. Ending that process and mobiledevicehelper comes back at one core 100% usage, then ending that and it behaves.
I have tried restarting the machine, installing updates, disabling the task in task manager, resetting the network adapter (winsock reset) and disabling ApplePush, and itunes helper at startup but am out of ideas now! I haven't even sync'd my phone to it yet.
Im fast thinking iTunes seems to be getting more buggy each release (I haven't been able to burn an audio cd on the new machine as it crashes while attempting to, but other software can burn the same playlist and file after dragging out of the iTunes playlist) yet iTunes on my Macbook runs fine!

oh and its iTunes 12.1.1.4 64Bit with Windows 8.1 Pro 64Bit all latest updates.
As a workaround I have found the two files, renamed them so iTunes cant call them and everything still works fine which begs the questions what are they doing that uses 100% of one CPU core! I haven't setup my iPhone as a remote, or my AppleTVs yet, hoping they don't rely on these services!

MAXDB on LINUX use only one CPU

Hi all,
I have a question regarding the usage of parameter MAXCPU. I have set it the value 3. But I do see only one cpu used and almost at 100% with the command "top".
My release is MAXDB 7.7 and the kernel for Linux is SMP.
Someone can tell me what influence this behaviour?
thank you all

Hi,
The database kernel runs as one process divided into threads. Did you start top -H to check the Cpu-Usage?
Threads can be active in parallel on several processors within the operating system. Threads perform various tasks.
MaxCPU has influence on the number of Threads which are created during restart.
In your case after restart you have 3 Threads ( UKT ) -> you can check this with x_cons show all
How many threads are active in parallel depends on the distribution of the User Tasks on the Threads and the applications which are connected to the User Tasks.
x-cons <DBNAME> show active shows the status of the different Tasks in an UKT. Notrice that an UKT can contain several Tasks but at one time only one Task in The UKT can have the CPU.
MaxDb manages this via internal dispatching.
You will find more information about the process structure in the Expert Sessions recording and slides of session: Session 18: SAP MaxDB Architecture
You can download the session here -> SAP MaxDB: The SAP Database - Training

How is oracle 10g configured to use only one cpu

Today a customer informed me that their instance of 10g was configured to run on only one of four cpu's in a Solaris server.
How did they do this ?
George

On Solaris 10 this could be done in a number of ways.
One way is to create a processor set with only one CPU in it, and bind the Oracle processes to it. They cannot run on any other CPU any more. As long as you bind the listener to it, any network based connections will come from the listener and so be in the same processor set.
A more sophisticated way is to create a Zone with a 1 CPU resource in it. A Zone is a software container within Solaris 10, and it can be associated a processor set. The difference to the previous way is that no explicit binding of processes is necessary. A Zone looks like a Solaris system in its own right. And everything in that Zone can only run on the CPUs in the processor set bound to the Zone. So Oracle could be started up in the Zone in the normal way, and be restricted to only one physical CPU, always.
There is also the possibility of using Solaris Resource Manager, for a softer control of CPU. But this does not restrict processes to a single physical processor. It is a fair share scheduler that allows different processes to receive their configured slice of CPU time, on average. So processes can still run on different CPUs in the system, but the averaging means that no single workload can maximise the system and restrict access for other workloads.
And the latest Sun systems are capable of running a virtualisation layer when the system boots (sometimes called a HyperVisor), and this partitions the hardware up into virtual systems, before Solaris then loads and runs on top of these. So you can configure a 4 CPU system to look like 4 * 1 CPU systems through virtualisation, and each runs its own instance of Solaris. And then one of these you run Oracle.

Am I the only one getting bad quality youtube videos when running on LTE? When I'm on wifi they seem fine but I switch to lte it looks bad on the youtube app and on safari.

Am I the only one getting bad quality youtube videos when running on LTE? When I'm on wifi they seem fine but I switch to lte it looks bad on the youtube app and on safari.

I've never had any problems with mine ever. The only freeze I've had was from a file I recorded on tivo, cut commericals out in movie maker and then re-encoded to the lowest possible bit rate that that zens nati've resolution supports. Try turning your sensitivity in the touch pad down. Sometimes if you have it up to high you may have a chance of doing that (although I have only had slow response, instead of a freeze by doing that).
You also have to compare to all of the other products out there: Ipod and Zune are a lot worse with pathetic little problems (annoyances). I didn't pay for tech support?

Want my JFrame to be the *only* one that can end the program when closed

Hi all,
I have an application that is essentially a launcher for other applications -- it's a holder to allow us to demo our work and other Java examples (not necessarily our work). The launcher will either run methods to launch an application or will find a class's main method and invoke that.
In all cases, the other applications open up their own JFrames, separate from my launcher (this is a good thing). The problem is that, in general, the other JFrames are set to EXIT_ON_CLOSE. This means that if the user closes the second window, everything will close.
Is there anyway to prevent this from happening? I'd like either a way to say that my JFrame is the only one that can exit the program when closed, or to say globally that JFrames can't exit on close, and then re-work my initial frame so that it is still able to exit.
Note that changing all the other applications so that they do not include the EXIT_ON_CLOSE line is not an option (several of the applications we have the right to use, but not the right to modify, for instance).
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Sam

I have a similar launcher application and this is how I tackled the issue....
Window[] windows = Window.getWindows();
This seems like a great work-around. The only problem is that Window.getWindows() is only 6.0, and unfortunately I can only assume 5.0. I can't see another method in the Window class that will return unowned windows -- is there another method that you know of?
Edit: I found I can use Frame.getFrames() instead, but unfortunately I've discovered this doesn't solve my problem. One of the applications is listening to window closing and is calling System.exit(0) itself, and is not using EXIT_ON_CLOSE as I previously thought. So I think that launching a new JVM may be the only option.... Any advice on how to do this? I'm a little stuck with the ProcessBuilder stuff above.

edit In future (not this time), Swing related questions should be posted in the [Swing forum|http://forums.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=57]
I guess I was thinking this as a process-oriented question (I had already been thinking of the "different JVM" tactic), but the other option was to think of it as a pure-swing problem, like your solution above. Guess I should have just cross-posted -- everyone loves that! ;-)
