CPU cores

kunjuttan — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 11:02:16 GMT

hi all,
how can I check how many cores are there in my CPU.i am having 6 itanium CPUs as per machinfo output.but how to know how many cores??

Shalom,

Few ways to do it.

top shows a CPU per core.

ioscan can be used to grep for CPU's

Best way to go is to actually look at the specifications for your particular system on http://docs.hp.com

Hi,
Can you post machinfo and print_manifest outputs?

Please post

# model

and

# machinfo

With Itanium it could be a bit difficult sometimes, because there are single cores, dual cores or 2 single cores in a single slot.

#ioscan will show cores

#MP commands will show physical CPU.

Shalom,

Again,

You want cores, go with ioscan.

You can safely use ioscan -fnk to get a core counts.

You can use awk and/or grep to get a count by then piping to wc -l

You have Montecito processors. Which are dual core. So you have 6 cores, 3 sockets.

Re: CPU cores

kunjuttan — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 04:49:13 GMT

so what u meant to say is i am having 3 daul core itanium processors????can you confirm???

>I am having 3 dual core Itanium processors?

Yes.

hi,

check this link, there are all information about itanium, and also a table with the model and number of cores in a socket.

Dai....Kunjutta...

The machinfo is giving you the no of cores present in the machine

for an example

if you are having a rx 7640 machine the maximum no of physical cpu is 4

check this link
http://h20341.www2.hp.com/integrity/us/en/mid-range/rx7640-options.html

and you are being provided with itanium 2 processors(dual core)
then you are getting a net number of 8 cores or logical cpus(which is the output you are getting in your machinfo) which is actually the core

Check this pdf for more understanding

http://www-07.ibm.com/systems/includes/content/p/advantages/virtualisation/downloads/12470_div.pdf about your server and its physical arrangement

and for your case ur having 3 physical itanium 2 processors and 6 cores in total
