How to find the number of CPU cores including virtual?

37

Solution 1

You can count no of CPUs

cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor | wc -l

Output :

2

To check the number of cores !

cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep 'core id'
core id         : 0
core id         : 1

Or

 $ nproc
 2

Or lscpu will show you all output:

lscpu

Architecture:          i686
CPU op-mode(s):        32-bit, 64-bit
Byte Order:            Little Endian
CPU(s):                2
On-line CPU(s) list:   0,1
Thread(s) per core:    1
Core(s) per socket:    2
Socket(s):             1
Vendor ID:             GenuineIntel
CPU family:            15
Model:                 4
Stepping:              7
CPU MHz:               2792.992
BogoMIPS:              5585.98
L1d cache:             16K
L2 cache:              1024K

Solution 2

To add to the existing answers, you can determine information about Intel's HyperThreading by looking at the "siblings" line in /proc/cpuinfo. The example below is from a 2 socket machine. It shows the CPU has 6 cores but 12 "siblings". On Intel CPUs this means HyperThreading is enabled and there are 6 physical cores.

processor       : 23
vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
cpu family      : 6
model           : 62
model name      : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2430 v2 @ 2.50GHz
stepping        : 4
microcode       : 0x428
cpu MHz         : 1599.707
cache size      : 15360 KB
physical id     : 1
siblings        : 12
core id         : 5
cpu cores       : 6
apicid          : 43
initial apicid  : 43
fpu             : yes
fpu_exception   : yes
cpuid level     : 13
wp              : yes

dmidecode is also useful for determining what hardware a Linux system is running on.

Solution 3

/proc/cpuinfo contains all the CPUs for my computer, including virtual. You can count them with a little grep:

grep -Pc '^processor\t' /proc/cpuinfo

Solution 4

You can also install htop (a fancier version of top) which will show you all your cores.

sudo apt-get install htop

Then start it: htop

Solution 5

Assuming you don't turn off your cores/threads, this command will answer your question:

getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN

    I would like to create something similiar like tesla.com, content on left side will change when right side is scrolled.

    I have tried create it using vuetify intersection, but it still buggy. Is there some way to improve it?

    Here is demo for code i already created : https://hyundai-andalan.vercel.app/models/staria

    This is code i using:

    // page component
    
    <template>
      <div>
        <ModelDesktop v-if="$vuetify.breakpoint.lgAndUp" />
        <ModelMobile v-else />
      </div>
    </template>
    
    <script>
    import model from '~/mixins/model'
    
    export default {
      mixins: [model],
      head () {
        return {
          title: this.model.name
        }
      }
    }
    </script>
    
    
    // model desktop component
    
    <template>
      <div class="tw-grid tw-grid-cols-3">
        <div class="tw-col-span-2">
          <ModelCarousel :section="section" class="tw-sticky tw-top-0" />
        </div>
        <ModelDesktopContentWrapper @change:section="onSectionChange" />
      </div>
    </template>
    
    <script>
    export default {
      data () {
        return {
          section: 'exterior'
        }
      },
      methods: {
        onSectionChange (value) {
          this.section = value
        }
      }
    }
    </script>

    This will show the number of cores Online which can be different from the total number of cores..

    This gives the number of CPUs, not the number of cores.

    nproc is also useful in scripts depending on the number of cores available to it. E.g. make -j$(nproc).
