Overview

This article describes how to view physical CPU and memory information for ECS instances running Linux.

 

Description

Notes:

  • Total cores = number of physical CPUs × number of cores per physical CPU
  • Total number of logical CPUs = number of physical CPUs × number of cores per physical CPU × number of hyper-threading

You can run the following command to view physical CPU and memory information.

  • View the number of physical CPUs.
    cat /proc/cpuinfo| grep "physical id"| sort| uniq| wc -l
  • View the number of cores in each physical CPU, that is, the number of CPU cores.
    cat /proc/cpuinfo| grep "cpu cores"| uniq
  • View the number of logical CPUs.
    cat /proc/cpuinfo| grep "processor"| wc -l
  • View the CPU model.
    cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep name | cut -f2 -d: | uniq -c
  • View memory information.
    cat /proc/meminfo

 

Application scope

  • ECS
