Bug 203284

Description Ed Maste 2015-09-23 13:43:58 UTC

a.out is a CPU-bound process that spins at 100% reading and writing memory in a loop, with 32 copies running in parallel on the 48-core system, so I'd expect to see all of them reporting 100% CPU.

A snapshot of top looks like:

Sometimes many process report 400% or so, sometimes only a few.
