Project description

What is it ?

cpu_cores is small python library and utility to get the number of “physical” cpu cores (without hyperthreading logical cores) of a linux/osx box.

On Linux, this is not an easy task because of hyperthreaded logical cores included in /proc/cpuinfo. Please, read carefully this excellent post to understand why.

Special features

  • support Linux (well tested) and OSX (needs some extra tests files), easy to extend to support other OS

  • unit tests (> 90% coverage)

  • python2 and python3 support

  • no dependencies

Usage

See the README for more details.
