are my cpus dual core ?

[Jerry_109]

Hello All,

I had an application person ask me are my cpus "duel core"? I have no ideal what they are talking about, I think it has something to do with charging a fee? How would I find this out? I have attached some out put from

Look:

HP-UX hovm230 B.11.31 U ia64 hp server Integrity Virtual Machine


You are INSIDE a virtual machine - the CPUs are virtual (no matter how many cores)!



This about the real CPU:

CPU info:
4 Intel(R) Itanium 2 9000 series processors (1.59 GHz, 9 MB)
266 MHz bus, CPU version C2


The

Intel(R) Itanium 2 9000 series processors

(Montecito) is a dual-core CPU.




On the host, use


/usr/contrib/bin/machinfo


to get an information like this


>machinfo
CPU info:
1 Intel(R) Itanium 2 9000 series processor (1.4 GHz, 12 MB)
399 MT/s bus, CPU version C2
2 logical processors (2 per socket)


==>

2 logical processors (2 per socket)

Swords? Pistols?

[Jerry_109]

Thanks. I was just looking at the man page for command "machinfo" ?

[Tim Nelson]

Must be a trick question..

Virtual CPUs are virtual, they do not really exist, so therefor they can be anything they want to be ?

How about just a model number for the vHost ?

266 MHz bus, CPU version C2

I agree with the others as I know for certain that the 1.6 Ghz chips are dual core. There were two different versions of that chip at that speed, and it looks like you've got the later high production run version.

Yes, dual core ( smile ) processor family =32

As mentioned before, the

Intel(R) Itanium 2 9000

as a real CPU (aka Montecito) is a dual-core CPU.

Thanks Torsten, you always come with great info....... :>)
