so for a while ive been playing a game (Overgrowth if you want to know). and i've been noticing lag on my pc when i know its a bit stronger than the ps3 (here are the specs if you want to know.)
Processor : 8x Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU Q 740 @ 1.73GHz
Video Card : Nvidia GeForce GT 330M
so i checked the game to see if that was the problom, then i checked my system moniter while playing the game.
now as i'm typing this the game is loading and at least 1 proccessor is at full 100% others aren't working much 3 are mostly at 0 and the others range from 10% - 15% or one gets as high as 25% (and not any higher. and the ones that were working at 10% goes down to 6 - 8%
so the game is now running and i am getting 3 - 5 fps and the results are still the same as above.
now i heard from a friend that part of the programing of the linux 64-bit kernal that is only built to handle two processors - even though it can use more than 2 as i can see. so i have to get one that handles all of them easaly. i heard it was like 64-bit SDK(or something like that) which has the kernal to evenly use all the proccessors. any leads?

Re: Prossessor not in full use
You have one processor with several cores and the 64bit (or the 32bit i686/i686-pae) Linux kernel supports that just fine.Sanocon wrote:now i heard from a friend that part of the programing of the linux 64-bit kernal that is only built to handle two processors - even though it can use more than 2 as i can see. so i have to get one that handles all of them easaly.
Don't know that game so can't help you with that.

Yea I meant cores, I did a hickup there.nunol wrote:You have one processor with several cores and the 64bit (or the 32bit i686/i686-pae) Linux kernel supports that just fine.Sanocon wrote:now i heard from a friend that part of the programing of the linux 64-bit kernal that is only built to handle two processors - even though it can use more than 2 as i can see. so i have to get one that handles all of them easaly.

Re: Prossessor not in full use
UBUNTU use full processor speed by the command instruction.
#cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies
2267000 2266000 1600000 800000
Set the frequency for all CPU cores with the following command
#cpufreq-selector -c {0,1} -f 2267000
(Here I have dual core so gave {0,1})
#cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies
2267000 2266000 1600000 800000

Re: Prossessor not in full use
And I thought this thread was dead... anyways, I found out my processor is a quad core with mutithreading and its only using the single thread capabilities, is there a way to actavate the mutithreading capability?joepmcfarren wrote:UBUNTU use full processor speed by the command instruction.
