cpu utilization and balanced in linux

[amarniit]

Hi Everyone,

I have a problem for Linux Server (CentOS) i have 4 CPUs in my server but when i checked only one CPU uses show 30% and more.

Now i want balance all my load on all four CPUs like if i have 40% load on server thn it should be 10-10% on each CPU.

So please help me how can i set or fix that ecah of my cpu will take equal balance....

like :
cpu 1: 10%
cpu 2: 10%
cpu 3: 10%
cpu 4: 10%


but this time i am getting like
cpu 1: 40%
cpu 2: 0%
cpu 3: 0%
cpu 4: 0%

Normally the operating system will handle balancing the load between CPUs by itself as far as possible; as it isn't doing this here I wouldn't be surprised if it is mainly running one big task that isn't multi-core ready. If this is the case there's little you can do without switching the program or alternatively updating it.

You could try using a tool like Cgroups which allows you to modify the resources attributed to various tasks; I have never used this myself though, so I can't say for sure if it will work or how to set it up. I'm sure you can find instructions on that online though.
