Hi Admins,
In linux Servers there is always difficulty in finding the server is
multi-processor, multi-core
or Hyperthreading is enabled or not.
Let's check this, but first keep in mind the following points:-
1) Physical ID = Number assigned to each Processor on MotherBoard
2) Sibling ID = Number of logical processor provided by each Physical Processor
3) Core ID = Number of core in the Physical Processor
Note:- If core Id is equal to sibling ID it means there is no Hyperthreading
If core ID is double that of sibling ID it supports Hyperthreading
Command:- cat /proc/cpuinfo
Case 1:-
Single-processor, Single-core, HT
processor 0 1
physical id 0 0
siblings 2 2
core id 0 0
cpu cores 1 1
The cpu cores value is "1", so this system uses single-core processors.
The cpu cores value does not match the siblings value, so this system has
hyperthreading.
There is one physical id listed, so this is a single-processor, single-core
system with hyperthreading.
Case 2:-
Single-processor, Dual-core, non-HT
processor 0 1
physical id 0 0
siblings 2 2
core id 0 1
cpu cores 2 2
The cpu cores value is "2" so the system uses dual-core processors.
The cpu cores value matches the siblings value, so this system does not have
hyperthreading.
There is one physical id listed, so this is a single-processor, dual-core
system without hyperthreading.
Case 3:-
Dual-processor, Dual-core, HT
processor 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
physical id 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1
siblings 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
core id 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1
cpu cores 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
The cpu cores value is "2" so this system uses dual-core processors.
The cpu cores value does not match the siblings value, so this system has
hyperthreading.
There are two physical IDs listed, so this is a dual-processor, dual-core
machine with hyperthreading
Case 4:-
Dual-processor, Quad-core, non-HT
processor 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
physical id 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1
siblings 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
core id 0 0 1 1 2 2 3 3
cpu cores 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
The cpu cores value is "4", so the system uses quad-core processors.
The cpu cores value matches the siblings value, so this system does not have
hyperthreading.
There are two physical IDs listed, so this is a dual-processor, quad-core
system without hyperthreading
Case 5:-
Dual-processor, Quad-core, HT
processor 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
physical id 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
siblings 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8
core id 0 0 1 1 2 2 3 3 0 0 1 1 2 2 3 3
cpu cores 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
The cpu cores value is "4", so the system uses quad-core processors.
The cpu cores value does not match the siblings value, so this system has
hyperthreading.
There are two physical IDs listed, so this is a dual-processor, quad-core
system with hyperthreading.
