[Hyperic-hq-discuss] why ProcCpu.getPercent() return value more than 1

[maverick4w <mav...@gm...>]

while I am running the monitor developed using Sigar to monitor CPU usage of some certain process, i found some time, the CPU usage was more than 100%.

I use ProcCpu.getPercent() to get the CPU usage of the process. The CPU is a sparc of SUN with 32 logic cores.
