When I use OpenMP in FORTRAN to parallelize a program on linux, ' top' command show me just one processor working ~%800 instead of ~%100 x 8 processors. Is it a expected situation ?

Turn off Hyperthreading in your bios and see if you still get 800%. I'm guessing you have a 4 core processor with each having 2 threads, ergo "8 processors". – Roman Luštrik Sep 10 '11 at 13:57
