Full Discussion: CPU Count
Operating Systems Linux Red Hat CPU Count Post 302595204 by Corona688 on Thursday 2nd of February 2012 10:57:34 AM

It could mean one 8-core CPU, a pair of 4-core CPU's, four 2-core CPU's, or 8 1-core CPU's. Cores are counted individually. If you care which belongs in what chip, that's the physical ID.

If you just care about the number of cores, counting the line match like that will work fine.

In fact, you don't need to even match anything. Just count the number of records, splitting on blank lines, by setting RS to "". Then when awk runs out of input, print NR, the number of records. On my dual-core system:

Code:
$ awk -v RS="" 'END { print NR }' /proc/cpuinfo
2
$

NAME
cpupower frequency-info - Utility to retrieve cpufreq kernel information SYNTAX
cpupower [ -c cpulist ] frequency-info [options] DESCRIPTION
A small tool which prints out cpufreq information helpful to developers and interested users. OPTIONS
-e --debug Prints out debug information. -f --freq Get frequency the CPU currently runs at, according to the cpufreq core. -w --hwfreq Get frequency the CPU currently runs at, by reading it from hardware (only available to root). -l --hwlimits Determine the minimum and maximum CPU frequency allowed. -d --driver Determines the used cpufreq kernel driver. -p --policy Gets the currently used cpufreq policy. -g --governors Determines available cpufreq governors. -a --related-cpus Determines which CPUs run at the same hardware frequency. -a --affected-cpus Determines which CPUs need to have their frequency coordinated by software. -s --stats Shows cpufreq statistics if available. -y --latency Determines the maximum latency on CPU frequency changes. -o --proc Prints out information like provided by the /proc/cpufreq interface in 2.4. and early 2.6. kernels. -m --human human-readable output for the -f, -w, -s and -y parameters. REMARKS By default only values of core zero are displayed. How to display settings of other cores is described in the cpupower(1) manpage in the --cpu option section. You can't specify more than one of the output specific options -o -e -a -g -p -d -l -w -f -y. You also can't specify the -o option combined with the -c option. FILES
