Hi all,

We are seeing a weird CPU usage for some DIRAC glexec jobs of the ILC VO running at RALPP. Despite the pilot output showing a request for 1 CPU to be used, top displays a 800% CPU usage for that job, effectively overloading the worker node. It looks to me that the job is using 8 cores but Condor had allocated it a 1 -core slot, as per the pilot request. Has anyone seen that? Could it be a wrong job submission by the user, or is there something wrong in our site configuration? I am no expert about DIRAC so please forgive me if this questions sound silly. Also, I can provide further information if needed.
