You can't.
How do you see that?
Check cpu_count with "show parameter"

Your server is about to do nothing.
What I can see is when the CPU is requested (6:30-7:00) then both work.

but you can se between 1am and 2 am, only 1 cpu works hardly and the other almost do nothing

and at 4 and 5 you can se that cpu0 works and cpu1 don't work

cpu1 works but less than cpu0, that i am thinking a way to "balance" both cpus

maybe it's an internal oracle parameter that we can't manage.


Thnx in advance Wink

Hardly? Less than 50% in average! It is not hard.
Maybe it is just a monoprocess work and maybe there is an affinity of process for the previous CPU it got (I don't know Linux but I know it is possible in other Unix).
Why do you care about this?

Michel

I have speed problem and maybe balancing the cpus maybe i can get more speed.
i am searching for problems in my db and maybe the cpu work be a key, but after read what you say, i think that i am wrong
Sad

thnx for your help Very Happy

Sorry, the CPU works 50% for user but there is also a nearly 50% for system so it is working hard.
But I still think there is only 1 process and so you can't do it more unless you can split the work in 2 threads.
If it is an Oracle query. Have a look at PARALLEL unless your disk is also working hard.

Michel

In this case, you surely can't do more with your hardware.
Have a look at OS statistics for IO waits.
If you have several disks, try to spread the working tablespaces among them.
Analyze the queries to be sure you don't make too much IO.

Michel
