Hi,

I have a 4 core CPU for postgres and I have submitted 6 queries parallely in 6 different sessions. But I am seeing only 1 query per CPU and the remainig queries are queued. I am not sure why is it happening. Do you have any special scheduler for postgres? I can see that CPU has been shared with other non postgres processes but postgres processes are not sharing any CPU within a core. The following is the process states.

lms       2868  2209 98 07:20 ?        00:02:30 postgres: lms controller [local] SELECT
lms       2869  2209 98 07:20 ?        00:02:30 postgres: lms controller [local] SELECT

lms       2870  2209  0 07:20 ?        00:00:00 postgres: lms controller [local] SELECT
lms       2871  2209  0 07:20 ?        00:00:00 postgres: lms controller [local] SELECT
lms       2872  2209  0 07:20 ?        00:00:00 postgres: lms controller [local] SELECT
lms       2873  2209 98 07:20 ?        00:02:30 postgres: lms controller [local] SELECT

If you see above, three Select queries have been queued. They are acquiring CPU only when there is a core without any postgres query running on it.

I know the postgres limitation of one query using only one core. But is there any limitation of one CPU running only one query at a time?


Are all the queries related to the same table(s)?
Which version of PostgreSQL? What's the version of OS?

Check out the locks which are not granted yet - pg_locks.granted
 
Your help is appreciated.

Thanks and regards,
Vineel.

Yes, they query the same table. But all queries are select only. Postgres is 8.3 and OS is LINUX  2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64.
Also I could see that pg_locks.granted is true for the queries I have submitted and lock mode is AccessShareLock.
