hi,
we all know /proc is about the information of active process,
I have just read an artical which said you can use /proc/cpuinfo,
/proc/net./proc/meminfo etc. to know about some hardware
information .But I want to know how to use with command line? (1 Reply)
I did a search on this, but didn't find exactly the answer I'm looking for. What exactly is the proc directory for? Showing processes spawned by users? I ask because I have some very large files in that directory by multiple users and its affecting my disk usage. Can you limit how many... (2 Replies)

hi all !
Please help me
When I select data from oracle with proc * C prog.
I count the number of rows
For example the total rows is 1000000
but the number of result return is a limit number 5000 for ex
So How can I know this limit (5 Replies)
Perhaps this is a very dummy question but sorry I don't know other place to do it. We just buy a new cluster of Xeon machines but there is something I don't understand and perhaps someone can help me.
The more /proc/cpuinfo produces the following output (just part of it).

Hi,
I am trying to calculate the CPU Usage by getting the difference between the idle time reported by /proc/stat at 2 different intervals. Now the 4th entry in the first line of /proc/stat will give me the 'idle time'. But I also came across /proc/uptime that gives me 2 entries : 1st one as the... (0 Replies)
So, I'm looking over /proc/cpuinfo and have a question... I've read that "siblings" refers to hyperthreading, but that seems odd considering the contents of cpuinfo. Here's a part:
model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5410 @ 2.33GHz
physical id : 0
siblings : 4

If you are adding the kernel module without any module parameter passing, it should print out following information to info1 file so that user can make read access to info1 file (via, for example, cat /proc/info1):
• Processor type
• Kernel version
• Total number of the processes currently... (1 Reply)
Hi,
I wanted to understand what exactly /proc/cpuinfo shows?
We have a machine with following specification...
(2x) Intel Xeon 6-core processors
So, ideally it shouls have 12processors, but the output on /proc/cpuinfo shows 24 processors.
Can someone please explain how this is... (3 Replies)

x86_energy_perf_policy
X86_ENERGY_PERF_POLICY(8) System Manager's Manual X86_ENERGY_PERF_POLICY(8)NAME
x86_energy_perf_policy - read or write MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS
SYNOPSIS
x86_energy_perf_policy [-c cpu] [-v] -r
x86_energy_perf_policy [-c cpu] [-v] 'performance'
x86_energy_perf_policy [-c cpu] [-v] 'normal'
x86_energy_perf_policy [-c cpu] [-v] 'powersave'
x86_energy_perf_policy [-c cpu] [-v] n
DESCRIPTION
x86_energy_perf_policy allows software to convey its policy for the relative importance of performance versus energy savings to the proces-
sor.
The processor uses this information in model-specific ways when it must select trade-offs between performance and energy efficiency.
This policy hint does not supersede Processor Performance states (P-states) or CPU Idle power states (C-states), but allows software to
have influence where it would otherwise be unable to express a preference.
For example, this setting may tell the hardware how aggressively or conservatively to control frequency in the "turbo range" above the
explicitly OS-controlled P-state frequency range. It may also tell the hardware how aggressively is should enter the OS requested C-
states.
Support for this feature is indicated by CPUID.06H.ECX.bit3 per the Intel Architectures Software Developer's Manual.
Options
-c limits operation to a single CPU. The default is to operate on all CPUs. Note that MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS is defined per logical
processor, but that the initial implementations of the MSR were shared among all processors in each package.
-v increases verbosity. By default x86_energy_perf_policy is silent.
-r is for "read-only" mode - the unchanged state is read and displayed.
performance Set a policy where performance is paramount. The processor will be unwilling to sacrifice any performance for the sake of
energy saving. This is the hardware default.
normal Set a policy with a normal balance between performance and energy efficiency. The processor will tolerate minor performance compro-
mise for potentially significant energy savings. This reasonable default for most desktops and servers.
powersave Set a policy where the processor can accept a measurable performance hit to maximize energy efficiency.
n Set MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS to the specified number. The range of valid numbers is 0-15, where 0 is maximum performance and 15 is max-
imum energy efficiency.
NOTES
x86_energy_perf_policy runs only as root.
