My CPU has 2 cores, so I can see two parts in /proc/cpuinfo.But, I want to know if CPUs that support Hyper-Threading (or similar tech), will /proc/cpuinfo give CPU info per core or per thread (or call it sibling)?I only know that Windows Task Manager will give CPU usage statistics per thread if the CPU supports HT.

There is a computer with two "Xeon(R) CPU X5550 @ 2.67GHz" CPU. The Hyper-threading is enabled, so it looks like 16-core system, but really there is only 8 physical cores.
I know that when hyperthreading is enabled, each physical core is splitted into two virtual cores. I want to know, which pair of virtual cores shares a physical core and which are not. Or, how (in what order) will Linux enumerate HT-cores comparing to real cores. (enumerating is done for sched_setaffinity and taskset masks).
I have a dump of /proc/cpuinfo file from the system.
I think there are possible:
CPU0-CPU7 are not sharing phys. core. CPU8-CPU15 too. But sharing is in pairs CPU0+CPU8, CPU(i)+CPU(i+8) and so on. or CPU0+CPU1 are from single physical, CPU2+CPU3, CPU(2*i)+CPU(2*i+1). or exotic CPU0+CPU15 sharing, CPU1+CPU14 ... or random?
The hard moment in this case is that there are 2 physical dies of CPU (two sockets), and usual recommendation of using "physical id:" field can't help
The cpuinfo:
processor : 0
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 6
model : 26
model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5550 @ 2.67GHz

I recently built a new computer. For CPU, I am using AMD Athlon II X2 @ 2.8GHz... However, when I do cat /proc/cpuinfo, I get the following:
processor : 0
vendor_id : AuthenticAMD
cpu family : 16
model : 6
model name : AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 240 Processor
stepping : 2
cpu MHz : 800.000
cache size : 1024 KB
and same thing for processor: 1 Notice that for cpu MHz, it says 800.000. However, that is not correct... Shouldn't it say 2800? Is this a bug? Am I looking at this wrong?
Is there a simple way to determine the CPU socket from the output of /proc/cpuinfo. Determining the type of processor is simple enough, but the processor I have (Celeron) has two different possible sockets. The output of /proc/cpuinfo is:
processor : 0
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 15

I've looked on the Intel processor finder web site with appropriate filters, but the stepping values do not appear to match anything.
I have following in cpuinfo:

I have fedora 14 installed and wish to use/learn kvm. I installed via groupinstall the virtualization group. I see vmx in /proc/cpuinfo. but when I start virt-manager I get a message that kvm is not installed or cannot be leaded into the kernel (to make a long message short). I am at a loss here as to what to do. I run cat /proc/modules and see "kvm 257420 0 - Live 0xffffffffa022a000". also after running modprobe kvm I run [root@fed14 ~]# lsmod | grep -i kvmkvm 257420 0 and see kvm there.

I have just bought new PC (Intel mother board "Intel DP43TF ATX" and Processor "Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550"). and I have installed centos 5.3 32 bit.
NOTE: All cores are enabled in BIOS.
When I issue below command, it shows only one core (not 4 cores): what could be reason!

Is there any Linux API that will let me control on what core will a thread run? If not, do I have to use assembly language?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am developing an application whose executable is generated inside a certain folder hierarchy (say: /DevPath/MyProject/bin). My source code is located in a different branch of this hierarchy (say: /DevPath/MyProject/src). When my app crashes, its core files are stored in /DevPath/MyProject. I'm developing the app on a pc, but running it on a separate platform in which i can only execute it. Folder hierarchy is the same as above on both computers. Usually, when a new executable version is ready, we update both the executable and the source code on the target platform, transferring all the new /DevPath/MyProject folder on it. But sometimes it can really be a bother, so we update only the executable.
1)In the case we only update the executable, keeping an old source code version, and the app generates a core file, can i trust the backtrace produced by gdb in this case? I.e., does gdb need the latest source code files or it just needs the debugging information?
2) (More radical question ) Do i really need to keep the source code on the target platform for core dump analysis or i just need the executable?
I've got the F13 LiveCD that I was able to boot and use using the "nomodeset" boot option. From the desktop I'm trying to perform an Install to Hard Drive.

I am going to use "pthread_setaffinity_np" to bind a thread to a specific core. My application has two threads. I have used mutex to assign a specific id to each thread and then bind that thread to a core different from another core. but it seems that the os assigns both thread to one core.What should I do to bind each thread to a specific core?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI recently read in a forum that by default the Linux kernel only activates one of two cores in a dual core processor. Searching online gave one option to find out and that was the mpstat command. I therefore ran the command and got the following output.As the result says, it shows only 1 cpu. I was wondering what I could do to activate both cores in my machine, and whether doing so was going to cause me any problems.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI've a program that launches new processes, and wait for them to die before it exits. So, for example, my program is a process, and it launches 3 more processes, and when the 3 child processes end, it will exit.
As you see, at end of the example, the program used a total number of 4 processes.
1 - Now, I'm running this program in a CPU with 4 cores. This means that the program used each core for each process?
2 - How can I know which core the program used?

I'm trying to track down a problem with a utility that used to work and now hangs indefinitely. Since its hanging, I suspected a locking problem, and went to have a look for the process ids in /proc/locks; I get:
148: FLOCK ADVISORY WRITE 30279 ca:21:49153 0 EOF
148: -> FLOCK ADVISORY READ 30282 ca:21:49153 0 EOF
Now as near as I can tell this shouldn't be my problem, since the two ADVISORY locks - one READ and one WRITE - shouldn't conflict with one another. But I'd like to understand it all the same. I haven't been able to find any kind of definitive guide for the format of /proc/locks entries, but what I did find in the manuals specifically states:
"Each lock has its own line which starts with a unique number. "
Which is obviously not true; both of my lines start with the same number. Also, since most search engines don't seem to play nicely with symbols, I can't find any reference to what the "->" means.
I am currently writing a JAVA script to monitor certain unix processes through JConsole. Upon having lots of trouble with runtime.exec, i decided to bypass the top/ps command call and just get the information straight from /proc/*pid*/whatever.Now i can pull back any information from any of the files I want, and the current way i determine the CPU usage of a process is as follows:
Add the UTime and STime of that process from /proc/pid/stat then divide my pidCpu by UTime + STime + NTime from /proc/stat, then multiply that by 100, should give me the % cpu usage a process is using, right?Theory being if I get the jiffies assigned to my process, I can divide that by the total jiffies the cpu assigns. However, my results seem to vary from the ones gathered from top and ps. What am I doing wrong?

Could not read the file /proc/26694/stat

I'm working in CentOS 5.4 with the default 2.6.18-164 kernel (which I will be editing but have reverted back to in order to solve this problem.)
Near the end of the init script I have thrown a /bin/sh to get into a busybox bash shell in order to test some scripts. Ive attached the init below.
While in this shell I can see my usb drive in /proc/bus/usb/devices and my hard drive in /proc/scsi/device_info however I cannot mount them as they are not in /dev.
I have scsi emulation set in the kernel. When I plug in a USB stick it finds the address but still no sign of it in /dev. There are other modules listed in /sys/module such as usbcore that dont show up in lsmod, is that possibly the problem?
