It worked fine. All I have to do now is change the squid service
initialization script.
Thanks a lot.

Sure. Otherwise you can't even start more than one process.

Squid always use the same CPU, but others services (apache for exemple)
in the same machine use all four CPUs, the Ubuntu itself uses the four
CPUs. That I know, this problem only occurs with squid.
More info: Each squid instance uses it own cache, have it own squid.conf
file and listens in different ports.
Thanks one more time,

Marcos,
Ubuntu should work fine with an SMP kernel for squid.
Just to double check, with your setup have you followed these
guidelines?
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/MultipleInstances
one of the most important things to check is that you have different
PID's
for every instance of squid, see "pid_filename"
Also, how many cpu's does that box have? Do you see squid always
using the
same one (I.E. CPU2)

Sorry about that.
It is a Ubuntu Feisty with a re-compiled Kernel version 2.6.15.7. We
just took out some harware modules. We tried some newer Kernel but we
couldn't make it work with the hadware that we have here.
And just for clarity: It was OK to put four or more instances
running at
the same time, but all of those instances keep using the same processor
and only that ONE processor. It is such a waste. And we have very
limited material to work here.
Thanks again,

Marcos,
What OS are you running squid on?
According to the Docs, squid cannot take advantage of an SMP kernel
but
there is a reference about having multiple instances of squid running,
However some OS's are very specific on how they handle processes, a
little
more information about your setup would be helpful

Subject: Multi processors
I have compiled squid with those options below:
squid -v
Squid Cache: Version 2.5.STABLE12
configure options: --sysconfdir=/etc/squid
--enable-storeio=aufs,coss,diskd,ufs --enable-poll
--enable-delay-pools
--enable-linux-netfilter --enable-htcp --enable-carp --with-pthreads
--enable-underscores --enable-external --enable-arp-acl
--with-maxfd=16384 --enable-async-io=50 --enable-snmp
It runs in a machine with 4 Itel Xeon processors, but squid no matter
how many instances i start, uses only one processor, and my other
three
processors stay idle.
My Squid.conf is this: (I have cutted-out my acls and http_acces)
http_port 8080
hierarchy_stoplist cgi-bin ?
acl QUERY urlpath_regex cgi-bin aspx \?
no_cache deny QUERY

Does anyone have an idea?
I have looked up in this list old mails, and have not found anything.
Thanks a lot,
