processors

Package processors provides information about a system's nodes, sockets, and physical processors. This information is gathered from both /proc/cpuinfo and the sysfs. For information gathered from cpuinfo, the first core entry for each physical CPU is used.

For x86/x86-64 systems, the CPUMHz field is not reliable as it is the current speed of the first core processed for each physical processor. Modern x86\x86-64 processor core speeds are dynamic and fall within a range; there may be other cores on the same processor that are at higher or lower speeds than the reported value. For x86\x86-64 processors, the MHzMin and MHzMax fields provide information on the processors min and max speeds.

CPUInfo from the following processors were used for testing:

• Intel I7 5600u
• Intel Xeon E52690 w 2 sockets
• AMD R7 1800x

For testing, the sysfs stuff use generated files and data. Please file an issue or a pull request for any gaps encountered.

Please file an issue or a pull request for any additional processors/architectures.
