Hello!

I want to make a script or c++ program that detects next information regarding processors on MacOxS platforms:

- processor name
- processor frequency
- number of physical processors
- number of online /active physical processors
- number of cores per processor
- number of threads per processor

Thanks a lot

Just let Apple System Profiler do the work for you.

I'm interesting, in some commands to get those infos.

Just create an Apple Script using Script Editor (located in Applications/Apple Script). You can find the documentation to all Apple Script commands in the menu (Window > Library). Double click the app in question and all commands will be listed with syntax and a short explanation. If you cannot find System Profiler in the list of applications, add it by clicking in `+'.

The output will be a text document. With a little experience in shell scripts, it should be very easy to extract the information you need automatically.

I need only shell commands, to be run in terminal. I don't have 'graphical' access to machine.

Thanks

Thanks

sysctl hw

Thanks a lot! sysctl hw. works good.

Does any of you have processors with multi-cores or more then one physical processor processor and can give me some example of this command out put?

Thanks!

You can run Apple Scripts from the command line just fine.

Hi,

I come back with a question regarding same subject.

Between hw.machine and hw.model which one is the name of processor. I think none of those it is, or i'm wrong.

I also did next to get processor name:

ioreg -l | grep -B20 -A20 -i 'device_type.*cpu' | grep -i \\\"name\\\" | sed 's/!.*//g' | sed 's/.*=//g' | sed 's/[<>\"]//g'

Anyone else have another ideas?

Thanks a lot
