cpu and core

Hi,

how to find out value of core?

Wheather any specification is there?

Concept: IBM POWER - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Also search the IBM pages for whitepapers on CPU, CORE, POWER.

Info about your CPUs can be optained by

sar -P ALL 1 1
lparstat

A command for displaying number of cores per CPU does not exist afaik. You have to look this up based on the kind of CPU you are using, power5+ for example etc.
Some info can also be obtained in the 1st lines of lsconf/prtconf.
Also man pages on "lparstat" can be helpful.
After this, reading about SMT (Symetric Multi Threading) will also help.
