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)

gcore
gcore(1) User Commands gcore(1)NAME
gcore - get core images of running processes
SYNOPSIS
gcore [-pgF] [-o filename] [-c content] process-id...
DESCRIPTION
The gcore utility creates a core image of each specified process. By default, the name of the core image file for the process whose process
ID is process-id will be core.process-id.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-c content Produces core image files with the specified content. The content description uses the same tokens as in coreadm(1M). The
-c option does not apply to cores produced due to the -p or -g flags.
-F Force. Grabs the target process even if another process has control.
-g Produces core image files in the global core file repository with the global content as configured by coreadm(1M). The com-
mand will fail if the user does not have permissions to the global core file repository.
-o filename Substitutes filename in place of core as the first part of the name of the core image files. filename can contain the same
tokens to be expanded as the paths in coreadm(1M).
-p Produces a core image file in the process-specific location with the process-specific content for each process as config-
ured by coreadm(1M). The command will fail if the user does not have permissions to the per-process core file repository.
OPERANDS
The following operand is supported:
process-id process ID
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 On success.
non-zero On failure, such as non-existent process ID.
FILES
core.process-id core images
