I found there was a user process occupying 100% CPU from top, but it's in "S"(sleeping) instead of "R"(running).
The process is a Python program from a valid user.

top shows sleeping process occupying 100% CPU
I found there was a user process occupying 100% CPU from top, but it's in "S"(sleeping) instead of "R"(running).
The process is a Python program from a valid user.
What could be the problem?
Thanks!

This is not unexpected. Note that 87.5% of your CPU cycles are in an "idle" state (87.5%id). So, only 12.5% of your cpu is in use in reality.
Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
