[erlang-questions] Sudden death of Erlang Node

[Eranga Udesh]

Yes, the whole node runs in One OS process. However the maximum per CPU load
didn't go beyond 25% at any time. Also this particular Erlang Node's CPU
utilization didn't exceed more than 15%.

All the above info is from Linux TOP.

Thanks,
- Eranga

I'm pretty sure that if you don't start your node in SMP mode, it will 
only use one of your processors.

Are you sure that the 25% CPU load is not really one of your four 
processors running at 100%?
