Detect CPU Speed/Memory/Internet Speed using Java?
Solution 1
This really depends on your OS, since Java will tell you little about the underlying machine. Unfortunately you have to use differing approaches depending on your OS.
If you're on Linux, take a look at the /proc/cpuinfo
filesystem for CPU info. /proc
generally has a wealth of information. Network (IO) will be reflected via the command ifconfig
.
If you're on Windows, a useful tool is WMI, which provides access to all sorts of low-level hardware stats. You can run WMI scripts via CScript. Here's a page of examples of WMI scripts.
Solution 2
Maybe SIGAR can provide some of the things you need.
Solution 3
Properties p = System.getProperties();
p.list(System.out);
System.out.print("Total CPU:");
System.out.println(Runtime.getRuntime().availableProcessors());
System.out.println("Max Memory:" + Runtime.getRuntime().maxMemory() + "\n" + "available Memory:" + Runtime.getRuntime().freeMemory());
System.out.println("os.name=" + System.getProperty("os.name"));
try above

Is it possible within Java to identify the total CPU speed available as well as the total system memory? Network connection speed to the web would also be awesome.

Kirk Ouimet over 14 yearsHi dr, sorry I should have been more specific, I meant the Java the application language not JavaScript

Kirk Ouimet over 14 yearsYeah it seems like Java is very protective over how applications can interact with hardware. The memory stats I saw from the Runtime object are just what the VM will take, not the actual total amount available

java testtest.java:3: cannot find symbol symbol : class Properties Properties p = System.getProperties();

Arwan Khoiruddin almost 6 years@Tim you should import the Properties first i.e.
import java.util.*
