# cpufetch
|
|
|
|
Prints a fancy summary of the CPU with some advanced information
|
|
|
|
### Platforms
|
|
This tool works on both 64 only and under Linux because of its [implementation details](#implementation). AMD support is not guaranteed so information may not be correct
|
|
|
|
### Usage and installation
|
|
|
|
Just clone the repo and use `make` to compile it
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git clone https://github.com/Dr-Noob/cpufetch
|
|
cd cpufetch
|
|
make
|
|
./cpufetch
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Example
|
|
|
|
This is the output of `cpufetch` in a i7-4790K
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Output
|
|
|
|
Output is detailed as follows:
|
|
|
|
| Field | Description | Possible Values |
|
|
|:----------:|:-----------------------:|:-----------------:|
|
|
| Name | Name of the CPU | Any valid CPU name |
|
|
| Frequency | Max frequency of the CPU(in GHz) | X.XX(GHz or MHz)
|
|
| N.Cores | Number of cores the CPU has. If CPU supports `Hyperthreading` or similar, this will show cores and threads separately | X(cores)X(threads)
|
|
| AVX | Type of AVX supported by the CPU or None. AVX instructions allows the CPU to vectorize the code with a witdh of 256 bits in single precision(or 512bits if AVX512 is supported) | AVX,AVX2,AVX512,None
|
|
| SSE | Same as AVX, but SSE family are 128bits witdh | SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4a, SSE4_1, SSE4_2,None |
|
|
| FMA | Does this CPU support FMA(Fused Multiply Add)?This instruction allows the CPU to multiply and add a value on the same clock cycle | FMA3,FMA4,None |
|
|
| AES | Does this CPU support AES? This instruction is allows the CPU to make AES cypher efficiently | Yes or No |
|
|
| SHA | Does this CPU support SHA? This instruction is allows the CPU to make SHA hashing efficiently | Yes or No |
|
|
| L1 Size | Size(in bytes) of the L1 cache, separated in data and instructions | XXB(Data)XXB(instructions) |
|
|
| L2 Size | Size(in bytes) of the L2 cache(both are unified) | XXXKB or None |
|
|
| L3 Size | Same as L3 | XXXXKB or None |
|
|
| Peak FLOPS | Max FLOPS(Floating Point Operation Per Second) this CPU could theoretical achieve. This is calculated by: `N.Cores*Freq*2(Because 2 functional units)*2(If has FMA)*VectorWidth` | XXX.XX (G/T)FLOPs |
|
|
|
|
`cpufetch` also prints a simple ascii art of the manufacturer logo.
|
|
|
|
### Implementation
|
|
|
|
`cpufetch` makes use of two techniques to fetch data:
|
|
* __cpuid__: CPU name, number of threads per core and instructions features are fetched via _cpuid_. See [this](http://www.sandpile.org/x86/cpuid.htm) and [Intel Processor Identification and the CPUID Instruction](https://www.scss.tcd.ie/~jones/CS4021/processor-identification-cpuid-instruction-note.pdf) for more information.
|
|
* __udev__: Cache and frequency are fetched via _udev_, by looking at specific files from `/sys/devices/system/cpu`
|
|
|
|
### Bugs or improvements
|
|
Feel free to open a issue on the repo to report a issue or propose any improvement in the tool
|
|
|
|
### Important note
|
|
Current status of development of cpufetch is incomplete (there are lots of bugs at the moment). I will fix them, add some other features and update the Arch Linux package when I have time.
