Question Finding No of Cores

Hi,

I would like to know how to find out physical cpu ? wheather it is Single Physical CPU with dual core? or it is Single physical CPU.

wheather any single command is available which will show no of physical CPU?

I have run the command prtconf.

it is showing 2 Processors. but wheather it is Single CPU with dual core or 2 Seperate Physical

About month agou you ahve been asking the same question:

Finding Physical CPU.

And the answer is still the same.

1 cpu = one core. You may have a dual- or 8-core chip depending if you have p5/6 or p7 but your cpu still has/is one core - with one, two or (on p7) 4 parallel threads depending on your SMT settings.
The system is likely to spread your 2 cpus across more than one physical chip if possible.

Thanks a lot zxmaus for your response, but when I have run the command on

System Model: IBM,9131-52A

Code:
bash-3.00$ lparstat -i

Partition Number                           : 1

it was showing as 2 Physical CPU as active.

so what is your question ?

If this is the same frame as in your other request than you have a p550 with 8 physical cpus (4 dual core chips) - 2 cpus of which are allocated to your lpar.
