CPU is Single core or Dual core.

[jskatiyar]

Hi everybody!

I have some commands output here. I want to confirm that the processor PA 8800 is single core or dual core. I also want to know what is the mean of o/p value of "645" getting by "/usr/bin/getconf CPU_CHIP_TYPE" command. Can I decode that value from any resource/site ?


# echo "itick_per_usec /D" |adb /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem
itick_per_usec:
itick_per_usec: 1000


# /usr/bin/getconf CPU_CHIP_TYPE
645


# model
9000/800/rp3440

Hi Torsten !

Thanks for your reply. I was able to see more information about the processors using this command -

#echo "selclass qualifier cpu;info;wait;infolog" | cstm > /tmp/cpuinfo

I got following output so I assumed that dual core CPU module are installed on rp3440 server.

Processor Number: 0 Path: 128
Hard Physical Address: 0xfffffffffe780000 Soft Physical Address: 0
Slot Number: 0 Software Capability: 0x100000f0

Processor Number: 1 Path: 129
Hard Physical Address: 0xfffffffffe781000 Soft Physical Address: 0
Slot Number: 0 Software Capability: 0x100000f0

Processor Number: 2 Path: 152
Hard Physical Address: 0xfffffffffe798000 Soft Physical Address: 0
Slot Number: 6 Software Capability: 0x100000f0

Processor Number: 3 Path: 153
Hard Physical Address: 0xfffffffffe799000 Soft Physical Address: 0
Slot Number: 6 Software Capability: 0x100000f0


But, now I am getting same type of output for 9000/800/N4000-75 and 9000/800/N4000-55 servers also. Both having PA8600 and PA8700 processor. I am not sure if these processors came on dual core? Please see the information in enclosing file.

[Torsten.]

The PA-8600 and 8700 are single core for sure.

Perhaps you have an old stm version and/or firmware producing wrong results.

Torsten ! Thank you so much for your valuable support.
