[SSI-devel] Re: [SSI-users] changes to "top" on OpenSSI

[Bruce W. <br...@ka...>]

Roopa, Steve,
  I would suggest that we just substitute the NODE column for the %mem
  column when the top is running in "globalview".  In localview it
  should be idential to base top.  In globalview (default), we should
  leave out many of the intro fields (which aren't clusterwide) and
  substitute the NODE column for the %mem column, which currently is
  bogus because it is giving the %mem of the process relative to the
  amount of memory on the node the top is running on and not relative to
  the memory on the node where each process is running.
