<title>What is Solaris mode?</title>

 Very brief topic. Explain what "Solaris mode" in the preferences dialog
 means. The current manual has some information.

In a system that has multiple CPUs or <link xref="cpu-multicore">cores</link>,
 processes can use more than one at the same time. It is possible for the
 <gui>% CPU</gui> column to display values that total greater than 100% (i.e.
 400% in a 4-CPU system). <gui>Solaris mode</gui> divides the <gui>% CPU</gui>
 for each process by the number of CPUs in the system so that the total will be
 100%.

To display the <gui>% CPU</gui> in <gui>Solaris mode</gui>:

<steps>
 <item>Click <gui>Preferences</gui> in the app menu.</item>
 <item>Click the <gui>Processes</gui> tab.</item>
 <item>Select <gui>Divide CPU Usage by CPU Count</gui>.</item>
 </steps>

<note>The term <gui>Solaris mode</gui> derives from Sun's UNIX, compared
 to the Linux default of IRIX mode, named for SGI's UNIX.</note>
