Topic: CPU(S)

[mrmango]

Done some searching however alot of threads are based on old SME versions. Mainly a sense check.

I bought an old Dell server with two PEN 3 processors onboard. I was looking to verify if I have two. Under (maybe not quite right) /proc/cpu it shows cpu 0 and then some info, then cpu1 then some info.

Under top I expected to see two cpus, however i cannot. It just says cpu(s), with stat for one. Is this correct?

Install smeserver-sysmon youll see if you have to cpu's

Or type cat /proc/cpuinfo and you should see cpu 0 and cpu 1 also you could use htop and see the 2 cpu's.

Thanks for this, looks like I have, just top being very usefull putting stats into one. Though I guess the point is they work together as one?

 I have run the command you provided and I have found out something strange. From what I know, both CPU's have to be identical, but when I look at the the report, there are slight differences, Mainly model# and stepping. Will this cause any problems?

Probably not.

I'll have a look at my output, both processors look the same. But unless are having a problem with the server. I would guess they should be ok.

Also, thanks for the tip on the tool HTOP. Fantastic TOP replacement. Shows both CPU's a treat. This server is much better than my last. Twin CPU's on the motherboard are VERY nice. Work a treat.

Wonder if dual core are exactly the same? Presume they are since they are two cpu cores in one chip?

Thanks for all your help.
