Root [International] What would cause a single core to stop?

share the love peeps ;)
Just started messing around with a cpu monitor app and noticed core2 stopped so i set my governor to "performance" (constant max frequency to test it and all the cores show 1.7GHz but core 2 is stopped. Could this be a problem brewing?
 
Sorry, forgot screenhot lol uploadfromtaptalk1371212949037.jpg
 
Haha av gave u a geek itch that needs scratched :)
Can u try same as i did too mate?
Ps do u know any better cpu monitors than that one? One that draws like a graph of the past 10minutes would b kewl :)
 
Aye :p

What kernel are you running? Can't try what you did with Siyah as only Pegasus, Lucalzactive or Hotplug governers in it. I suspect your problem is with changing governor, read somewhere (maybe a Droidphile post) that best to leave governer as Pegasus anyway since Sammy developed it to handle the S3's multi cores.

Sometimes you gotta reign in the tinkering monster so I've never changed it on S3, on my N7 its a different story depending on what kernel I've just flashed! :D
 
Lol im using Googly? Googy? Somethin like that lol i think its siyah based but it makes tethering work with AOKP :)
know what u mean mate lol. Im actualy on the lookout for a N7 from santa. Il find the link to the thread i made.... (oh man the stoaters are out in paisley 2nite n its too hot2shut the windys).....

I think the Pegasus governor does switch cores off. I was watching my own using android tuner and it was showing 2 sometimes 3 cores going offline.

Would them going offline not mean the CPU is going to sleep?
 
I always thought that "sleep" meant the cpu was at its minimum set speed (200MHz) but i suppose it makes more sense for some cores to just switch off :beer:
