[Gllug] Dual core

[John Hearns]

On a SuSE system,   hwinfo --cpu
gives you a lot of information.

Just tried it on a dual-core Opteron system. It uses /proc/cpuinfo, and 
outputs the data in a nice format. Plenty of other useful options to 
'hwinfo'

Also on that system, cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep cores  returns

cpu cores       : 2
cpu cores       : 2
cpu cores       : 2
cpu cores       : 2
cpu cores       : 2
cpu cores       : 2
cpu cores       : 2
cpu cores       : 2



Regarding multicore etc. this paper is worth a read:
