Hi Suse experts.
I installed Suse11.0 RC1 64bit on an ASUS M2A-VM with an Phenom 9600BE and 2x1GB RAM. The computer is build to run the folding@home smp client. Usually this client uses 70%-90% of the cpu for its scientific calculations. With the Beta3 and RC1 the client only uses about 30% (have a look at the "top" output below). Is this a known problem?
If my quick check of the AMD Web site is correct, this is a quad-core processor. So the 30% utilization you're seeing is 30% of four processors.
By the way, If you type '1' to top, it toggles its summary display at the top between all-CPUs-together and each-CPU-separately mode.

Thank you for the "1" hint. The resulting screen is quite funny. Have a look at cpu2 :-) cpu2 seems to be on holiday? thorsam@M2A-VM-9600BE:~> top top - 10:36:09 up 13:33, 1 user, load average: 3.98, 3.96, 4.22 Tasks: 105 total, 1 running, 104 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu0 : 0.0%us, 0.0%sy, 0.0%ni,100.0%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Cpu1 : 0.0%us, 0.0%sy, 0.0%ni,100.0%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Cpu2 : 0.0%us, 0.0%sy, 0.0%ni, 0.0%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Cpu3 : 0.3%us, 0.0%sy, 0.0%ni, 98.7%id, 1.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Mem: 1928972k total, 465064k used, 1463908k free, 55580k buffers Swap: 514072k total, 0k used, 514072k free, 124264k cached There are even more problems :-( I just checked the machine status via ssh and got this (see below): so, there is NO cpu load at all. But the two f@h smp clients I started yesterday evening still show up in "ps x". (I started two clients to get a cpu usage of about 60%) What doaes this mean?
