Processor and processor core
Guys...
Hows it going???
I have been going through the hardware spec of IBM system p systems.. and here i am confused
for IBM Power 520 Express it says
Processor cores:
One, two or four 64-bit 4.2 GHz POWER6 with AltiVec™ SIMD and Hardware Decimal Floating-Point acceleration
now my question is
- is 1/2/4 the number of processors that 520 can have each of 4.2 GHz?
or
- is 1/2/4 the number of cores per processor giving effective 4,2GHz speed. in that case, how many processors can 520 have to the maximum?
Regret if am not clear.. ready to explain if required

psrinfo(1) General Commands Manual psrinfo(1)
NAME
psrinfo, pinfo - Displays processor administration information
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/psrinfo -n
/usr/sbin/psrinfo [-v] [processor...]
/usr/sbin/psrinfo -s processor
/usr/sbin/pinfo [-v] [processor...]
OPTIONS
Displays the number of processors in the system. Enables verbose mode. Writes only a boolean value to standard output. The -s option
requires a single processor identification number (processor). The -s option is intended to be used in scripts. A value of 1 is output if
the specified processor is on line. A value of 0 is output if the specified processor is off line.
DESCRIPTION
The psrinfo and pinfo commands display information about processors. The processor variable specifies the processor identification number,
which is a unique integer that identifies the processor. If you do not specify any options or a processor identification number, the com-
mands display information about all processors.
EXAMPLES
The following is an example of the default prsinfo command output (no options or processor identification numbers):
greene:> psrinfo 0 on-line since 11/03/1999 09:41:34 1 on-line since 11/03/1999 09:41:34 2 off-line since
11/03/1999 08:41:34
The following example shows how to use the psrinfo command with the -s option in a shell script to determine the state of the pro-
cessor with an identification number of 1:
if [ "`psrinfo -s 1 2> /dev/null`" -eq 1 ] then echo "processor 1 is up" else echo "processor 1 is down" fi The following
example shows how to use the psrinfo command with the -v option:
% psrinfo -v Status of processor 0 as of: 05/23/00 15:47:40
Processor has been on-line since 05/23/2000 15:08:04
The alpha EV5.6 (21164A) processor operates at 465 MHz,
and has an alpha internal floating point processor. Status of processor 1 as of: 05/23/00 15:47:40
Processor has been on-line since 05/23/2000 15:08:04
The alpha EV5.6 (21164A) processor operates at 465 MHz,
and has an alpha internal floating point processor. Status of processor 2 as of: 05/23/00 15:47:40
Processor has been off-line since 05/23/2000 15:08:04
The alpha EV5.6 (21164A) processor operates at 465 MHz,
and has an alpha internal floating point processor. Status of processor 3 as of: 05/23/00 15:47:40
Processor has been on-line since 05/23/2000 15:14:00
The alpha EV5.6 (21164A) processor operates at 465 MHz,
and has an alpha internal floating point processor.
