Hi Amir,
The threads of the same process can be scheduled on different cpus. Best regards,
Nenad

Hi,
On a multi-processor system, do all threads of a multi-threaded process run on the same CPU or do they utilize all available CPUs? Output from the PIDSTAT utility on a 2-vCPU VM running RHEL7 shows that multiple threads from a JAVA process are running on different vCPUS (a snippet is pasted below). Is this the right interpretation of the output?

pidstat -t -u -p 10512 15
