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:
hi,
i want to know cpu utilizatiion per process per cpu..for single processor also if multicore in linux ..to use these values in shell script to kill processes exceeding cpu utilization.ps (pcpu) command does not give exact values..top does not give persistant values..psstat,vmstat..does njot...

Hello Friends,
On one of my Solaris 10 box, CPU usage shows 100% using "sar", "vmstat". However, it has 4 CPUs and prstat and glance are not showing enough processes to justify high CPU utilization.

We have purchased four intels xeon processors
Intel® Xeon® Processor E7530 (12M Cache, 1.86 GHz, 5.86 GT/s Intel® QPI) with SPEC Code(s) SLBRJ
As per the specification each cpu has 6 cores therefore we have 24 cores (considering 4 cpus).
Now how would i calculate the number of vcpus that can... (1 Reply)
I have a number of LPARs on one P520. All LPARs are running 5.3 and I observe the following:
On some LPARs the number of CPUs found do not match between topas and mpstat.

Hello,
sysinfo throws out below 3 CPU counts. Can anyone help me understand what each of these means?
CPU Count Socketed is 2
CPU Count Physical is 8
CPU Count Virtual is 16
First one seems obvious. However, I wonder how there can be 8 Physical CPUs, if... (2 Replies)
We have a single threaded application which is restricted by CPU usage even though there are multiple CPUs on the server, hence leading to significant performance issues. Is it possible to merge / combine multiple CPUs at OS level so it appear as a single CPU for the application? (6 Replies)
seeing weirdness across some 7.1.5.1 LPARs - they all have 2 vCPUs allocated shared. With prtconf they show 2 CPUs, 'lsdev -c processor' concurs, and 'lsattr -El procX' shows that SMT is enabled and there are 2 SMT threads (power5, sorry). Yet running topas on them shows 2 CPUs on some and 4 on... (3 Replies)
I read that Entitlement CPU should be set to max 75% compare to Virtual CPU. May I know the reason.
I have set the Entitlement CPU = Virtual CPU on AIX . It works fine .
Can you help to understand. (1 Reply)

uptime
UPTIME(1) User Commands UPTIME(1)NAME
uptime - Tell how long the system has been running.
SYNOPSIS
uptime [options]
DESCRIPTION
uptime gives a one line display of the following information. The current time, how long the system has been running, how many users are
currently logged on, and the system load averages for the past 1, 5, and 15 minutes.
This is the same information contained in the header line displayed by w(1).
System load averages is the average number of processes that are either in a runnable or uninterruptable state. A process in a runnable
state is either using the CPU or waiting to use the CPU. A process in uninterruptable state is waiting for some I/O access, eg waiting for
disk. The averages are taken over the three time intervals. Load averages are not normalized for the number of CPUs in a system, so a
load average of 1 means a single CPU system is loaded all the time while on a 4 CPU system it means it was idle 75% of the time.
