[RESOLVED] Working out number of CPU's

davieboy

Hi everyone

Im looking for a bit of help, trying to find a script that will output the number of cpu's, ie '4' when run on a server.

Anyone able to help?

Thanks again

David

Which OS does the server have? Do you want the number of physical cores or logical cores?

Only way I can think of doing this would be to use the execution commands (see: [man]exec[/man]) to execute a system command that contains that info. Depending upon the OS on the server, there's a couple of ways to get that info.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, on Windows servers you could probably use $_ENV['NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS'] to get the number of logical cores.

have found

 
system("cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor | wc -l");

which displays the info, how do i get the model of the proc

You'd want to match the "model name" line, e.g.:

model name      : Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.40GHz

ok have got
system("cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep \"model name\"");
is possible to limit to show just one?
its giving all 4

You can specify a max number of lines to match for the grep function by adding "-m NUM" before the pattern, e.g. "-m 1" to only match once.
