When I installed two TX2 systems with the latest jetpack 4.5.1, I went into TX2 and switched to maximum power mode 0. I found that my TX2, CPU2 and cpu3 worked at 0%. Even if I let them work overload and other CPUs worked at about 90%, CPU2 and cpu3 still worked at 0%. Only at the moment of switching mode, they would change. Is this a TX2 hardware problem or not suitable for jetpack 4.5.1.

This is not a bug. These two cores are disabled on purpose.

> Hi. I am wondering why no work is ever assigned to the two Denver cores although I am running in the MAX-N model. I have both tested with nvpmodel -m 0 and by running jetson\_clocks. I am able to see all 6 cores in both top, htop and in tegrastats but the CPU load of the two Denver cores always remains at 0%. I am able to launch a new process and move it to the Denver cores with taskset but no work is automatically distributed to these cores. Why is that so? I am running Ubuntu 18.04 from Jet…

Hello Wayne, Could I know why Nvidia default disable the two cores on Jetpack 4.5.1?
