Comment(by drkirkby):
Mathematica actually provides one called
{{{
SystemInformation[]
}}}
http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/ref/SystemInformation.html
http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/guide/SystemInformation.html
It also provides information on the machine precision. A look at what they
provide might be useful.
I would suggest we also include the value of exp(1.0), as that is system
dependent, though care needs to be used in computing that so compilers
don't inline the result.
Some possible sources of information would be:
== Solaris ==
* $ /usr/sbin/prtconf | grep Memory (gives you memory information)
* $ /usr/platform/`uname -i`/sbin/prtdiag (More hardware information)
* $ showrev (more information)
* $ /usr/sbin/psrinfo -v (gives you processor information)
* $ prstat (like top, but more accurate on Solaris)
* $ cat /etc/release (gives operating system information)
* $ uname -a (gives you the usual things)
* $ uptime (how long the system has been up, and load average)
* $ dmesg (system messages)
* $ df -h (gives you some information about disk usage)
The best way to find out if a Solaris system is running out of memory is
to use the scan rate ('sr' column) of 'vmstat'. (Don't even think about
believing top)
== Linux ==
* $ uname -a
* $ cat /etc/issue
* $ cat /proc/cpuinfo
* $ cat /proc/meminfo
== OS X ==
* $ uname -a
* $ /usr/sbin/system_profiler
