To find the CPU frequency on HP-UX11.00

[Jessica_37]

I am only a regular user on HP-UX, I double check that I can not use "SysInfo" or "dmesg" because permission denied. And in syslog can not find CPU information, plus try to use "Glance Plus" and no such info available in "CPU report".

Anyone can help me to find the CPU frequency using a regular user account?

Thanks a lot

Jessica,
if nobody else comes up with a better solution, ask your friendly System Administrator to tell you.
Or, as somebody else has posted:
perl -e 'local($PSTAT, $PSTAT_PROCESSOR)=(239,10);
local($struct_pst_processor)=("L30");
local($cpu_info, $cpu_ticks);
$cpu_info = "\0" x 120;
syscall($PSTAT, $PSTAT_PROCESSOR, $cpu_info, length($cpu_info), 1, 0);
($cpu_ticks)=(unpack($struct_pst_processor, $cpu_info))[26];
print "speed=".int($cpu_ticks/10000)."\n";'

Jessica,

Try
echo "selclass type cpu;info;wait;infolog" | /usr/sbin/cstm

Tou will get an output which will show you the CPU type
PA8200 or PA8500 or PA8600 ... PA8900.
Depending on the CPU type and server model -
can get using command
model

You can understand the CPU freq.
e.g. PA8500 - 440 MHz
PA8700 - 750 MHz
PA8900 - 1 or 1.1 GHZ etc
you can search on web once you get the CPU type and server model.

Hope this helps,
Ninad

Hi

copy script into a file chmod to 755 and run it. it will give a whole bunch of usefull info.

Type in the command 'model'. You'll get the model string of the system. The last two numbers will give the cpu size. For example:

$ model
9000/800/L2000-44

This system has 440mhz cpu's.

Thanks everyone for the excellent answers. Eric, thanks very stright forward answer.

Simply running "model" is never an accurate way to check for the processor speed. The information that is retrieved from the "model" command is dependant on someone to have entered it correctly at some point.

To query the system you can use "adb". It is an accurate way to pull the information from a system's kernel.

echo "itick_per_usec/D" \
|adb -k /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem \
|tail -1 \
|awk '{ print $2 , "\bMhz" }'

Jessica,

That information can only be verified by someone with root privledges.
