NAME
cpu - Global Variable: Provides a unique logical processor-type family identifier
SYNOPSIS
extern int cpu;
DESCRIPTION
The cpu global variable provides a unique logical family identifier of the processor type of the running system. The logical system name can represent a single processor or a family of processor types. For example, the constant DEC_3000_500 represents the DEC 3000 Model 500 Alpha Workstation. The defined processor names appear in the following file: /usr/sys/include/arch/alpha/hal/cpuconf.h. You use the cpu global variable to conditionally execute processor-specific code. For example, the following code fragment calls a system- specific initialization interface for the DEC 3000 Model 500 Alpha Workstation: . . . if (cpu == DEC_3000_500) { init_3000_500(); } . . . cpu(9v)
