How to know the number of CPU in your machine

The relationship of several concepts:

Number(logical CPU) = Number(physical CPU) * Number(cores per physical CPU) * Number(Threads per core)

For Linux

1. Get from the file /proc/cpuinfo
   Number of Physical CPU:

   cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep “physical id” | sort | uniq | wc -l

   Number of Cores per Physical CPU:

   cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep “cpu cores” | uniq

   Number of Logical CPU:

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

   Number of Threads per Core:

   Number(logical CPU) / Number(physical CPU) / Number(cores per physical CPU)

   Sample: 2 physical cpu, 8 cores per physical cpu, 32 logical cpu, 32/8/2=2 threads per core

2. Use command “lscpu”

   CPU(s): number of logical CPU
   Thread(s) per core:
   Core(s) per socket:
   CPU socket(s):
   L1d cache: Level 1 data cache
   L1I cache: Level 1 index cache
   L2 cache: Level 2 cache
   L3 cache: Level 3 cache

   Sample: 32 logic cpu, 2 threads per core, 8 cores per physical cpu, 2 physical cpu
   

For Windows
Execute the commands:

cmd
wmic
cpu get *

Sample:

1 row: 1 physical cpu
NumberOfCores: 4 cores per physical cpu
NumberOfLogicalProcessors: 8 logical cpu
Number of thread per core: 8/4/1=2
