7/02 Does anyone know how to find out the clock speed of a processor?
For example, you can find out how much memory a computer has by
using top, but how do you find out how fast a processor a computers has?
\_ reboot and check the bios.
\_ On SunOS 4.1 there's a "sysinfo" utility. Don't know about other
\_ dinfo
versions of UNIX. -- yuen
\_ sysinfo is a freeware program, not part of SunOS
http://www.magnicomp.com/sysinfo
\_ http://home.earthlink.net/~bhami/rosetta.html
includes: lscfg, uerf, dmesg, ioscan, hinv, prtconf
\_ On Irix, "hinv"
\_ Many PC Unices (FreeBSD, Linux), that stuff will be somewhere in
\_ The only thing in dmesg which looks relevant is the following:
/proc, but just running "dmesg" and reading it is usually easier
does that suggest I have an 80 Mhz Machine or something
completely different?
\_ bogomips are different functions f(clock) for each cpu type,
e.g. pentium, pentium II, 486, alpha, sparc, are all computed
differently. check /proc/cpuinfo on linux for real measured
MHz.
--dbushong
\_ The only thing I found in dmesg which seemed appropriate was:
Calibrating delay loop.. ok - 79.67 BogoMIPS
does this mean my machine runs at 80 Mhz?
cat /proc/cpuinfo --dbushong
\_ Sounds like you're on a Linux box (mention this next time,
will save everyone a bunch of time).
"cat /proc/cpuinfo" will tell you the clock speed, and no,
bogomips do not correspond in any way to MHz --dbushong
\_ psrinfo -v on Solaris |

SysInfo^TM enables System Administrators to quickly see a high level view of a system's configuration or dive deeply into very low level configuration data. You can see something as "simple" as a system's model name or you can plunge down to detailed information on disk drives to view a drive's serial number and RPM speed. SysInfo^TM supports both a sophisticated 29 Command Line Interface (CLI) for consumption by both humans and programs, as well as a 30 Graphical User Interface (GUI) to browse the volumes of data available. One Tool for Multiple Platforms SysInfo^TM provides a single, unified interface to system information in platform neutral formats across these platforms. To see how much main memory (RAM) a system has, just run sysinfo --show memory. Automation Made Simple Do you write shell scripts and programs on multiple platforms? You can replace line after line of OS dependent code with a single call to SysInfo^TM. This can save you a tremendous amount of time maintaining and supporting your automation because SysInfo^TM takes care of all the OS dependencies. You can stop worrying about your automation breaking due to OS dependencies when you upgrade your OS. Porting your automation to a completely new platform is also dramatically easier because SysInfo^TM knows your new platform, not your automation. SysInfo^TM provides easy command line output as well as a Perl and C API to make larger projects a snap. Wide Breadth of Information Not only does SysInfo^TM provide very deep levels of information but it also provides a very wide breadth of knowledge. This release delivers many significant new features and bug fixes. This release features bug fixes and an updated device database.
