Load Averages on Multiprocessors

[Tom Christiansen]

>From the keyboard of rbj at uunet.UU.NET (Root Boy Jim):
:Should the average length of the run queue be divided by the
:number of proccessors in the system or reported as is? Why?
:
:What do various vendors do? I know about Sequent and Pyramid.

On a Convex, the load average is the sum of run queues of
each processor.  So a C-240 with a load average of 3 would 
still have one head free (on the average).
