Showing which CPU a process is using
If you need to know which CPU a process is using, top can be used to find out.
1. start top
2. hit the f key
3. you can now select the fields you want to display.
P gives the last CPU used so select that.
You will now see output along the lines of:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ P SWAP COMMAND 20394 oracle 15 0 20.2g 133m 129m S 6.6 0.3 0:37.88 3 20g oracle 24934 oracle 16 0 20.2g 185m 181m S 5.3 0.5 1:11.39 3 19g oracle 18065 root 18 0 288m 14m 9360 S 3.6 0.0 69:18.57 2 274m beremote 22802 oracle 18 0 20.2g 1.5g 1.5g D 3.6 3.8 0:03.67 1 18g oracle 10398 oracle 15 0 1226m 39m 11m S 2.0 0.1 297:38.05 0 1.2g java
The P column shows the CPU the process is using.
