Server 2003 run in 4 CPU box

[Guest ong]

Hi all,

 

I have a windows server 2003 R2 Sp2 and the server configuration is as follow

2 x intel dual 2 core xeon 1.6Gz CPU (= 4 CPUs)

2 Gb RAM

500 MB harddisk

 

I have a web application running on this server.

However, I found from the task manager that all process would only occupy a

max. of 25% CPU usage, even that process is a CPU intensive process. So I

would like to know is there any way to set the process can fully utilize the

CPU usage ?

 

Thank in advance

Win 2003 Sp2 is already capable of using 2 CPU / 4 Cores, you don't have

to do anything.

 

If you're not getting the performance it could be that you are DISK

Bound and not able to saturate the CPU's or that your apps are just not

ones that load the server up.

 

I have Quad Quad Cores and rarely see above 30% across them and this

runs SQL 2000 server on a busy box.

Hello,

 

check closely to cpu usage per process.

25% = 1 CPU at 100%

You may have one process (like a not multithreaded application) that may be

eating all the cpu it can (1 CPU in this case, so 25%).
