[x265] x265 CPU utilization very low on a multi-numa sockets server

[Ximing Cheng]

Hi, I am testing x265 with a two numa nodes server, each node has 36 cores.
The x265 version is 1.7 release with command line

./x265 --input-res 1920x1080 --input input.yuv --bitrate 1200 --vbv-maxrate
1380 --fps 20 --early-skip --preset fast -o test1.hevc

but when ruuning on the server, CPU utilization ranges from 27% ~ 35% (<
40%) which means most of the CPU cores are not busy.
