lscpu gives:



Thread(s) per core: 2
Core(s) per socket: 32


When running an intensive 32-threads process, why does htop show almost 100% CPU activity on #1-32, but very little activity on #33-64? Why aren't the process's 32 threads distributed evenly among CPUs #1-64?

  • @jsotola Why wasn't there (on average) 100% CPU usage every other CPU? Or why weren't the 32 threads running on CPUs 1-16 and 49-64, or 33-64, or something else?

  • they are distributed evenly .... 16 even numbered cores and 16 odd numbered cores

In Linux there is a scheduler.
Some systems will push work to faster/cooler/more-efficient cores but the default behavior is an ordered stack.
