SubjectRE: How to get number of physical CPU in linux from user space?
Date
Recent distributions or the AC tree has additional fields in /proc/cpu,
which tell
- physical package id
- number of threads
for each CPU.

Using this info, you should be able to detect it. The problem is that they
are not using the same keywords. I'm asking them to make those fields
consistent.

Thanks,
Jun

I mean the number of cpu chip you can count on the mother board.

And you are right. Those apicid, after mask out the siblings,
are put in phys_cpu_id[] array in kernel.

I think about look at bootlog too, but that is not a reliable
way because bootlog might already been flush out after some
time.
