Hi all, I've written a simple class that encapsulates the cpuid instruction. It could probably be improved and polished, but I'm fairly happy with it. One thing I'm considering is if a static only class would be better, it's not like the info can change dynamically... Get it here: http://famolsen.dk/d/cpuid.zip The zip contains the cpuid module and a simple test app. Running the test app I get personally get this: Vendor string: AuthenticAMD Processor string: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ Features: MMX SSE SSE2 SSE3 3DNow! 3DNow!+ MMX+ AMD64 HTT Multithreading: 2 threads / 2 cores The threading info should work on both Intel and AMD cpus, but I have no way to test the Intel path. Any feedback would be much appreciated. Also, I'm considering creating a library with sse/2/3 optimised batch operations for vector operations normalisation etc. Would such a library be of interest to the D community?

Yes. But, make sure you're not just reinventing the wheel, since it's such a well-explored problem. I think it would make sense for D to come with a simple BLAS implementation for general use. I just found one little BLAS1 implementation that's under a BSD license: http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/~fvandenb/miniSSEL1BLAS/miniSSEL1BLAS.html which looks as though it is D-compatible and easy to port. No doubt there are many others on the net.

Cool :) I have updated the zip and CPUID is now public domain. There is one more thing (at least) that should be implemented though before this is really worthy of being in std (IMHO). The threading info is only probing the hardware. The OS might not allow the app to use those resources so processor affinity stuff should be added. I can add this, just have to read up on it. Or if someone knows it already feel free to patch, in which case I will do nothing :P

Who knows... Maybe one day D will be used in a multi-processor system with Hot-Swapped CPUs. But anyway your code makes a nice contribution to D codebase. -- 'non-optimal' is a politically correct term for s*it

After a small patch: char[12] vendorStr = ' '; char[48] processorStr = ' '; (Otherwise it crashes with an "invalid UTF string" exception) it returned this: Vendor string: GenuineIntel Processor string: Features: MMX SSE Multithreading: 1 threads / 1 cores on my laptop, which looks about right. Guess my laptop is so old it doesn't have a processor string. Well, either that or your code's buggy :P. (It's a Celeron according to the sticker, and about 750 MHz IIRC) Other computer: Vendor string: AuthenticAMD Processor string: AMD Sempron(tm) 2600+ Features: MMX SSE 3DNow! 3DNow!+ MMX+ Multithreading: 1 threads / 1 cores also looks right.Also, I'm considering creating a library with sse/2/3 optimised batch operations for vector operations normalisation etc. Would such a library be of interest to the D community?
Not useful to me personally but the more D code is out there, the better :).

The zip has been updated: * Added public domain header * Fixed bug with manufacturer not being set if HTT was not supported * Fixed invalid processor string bugs It seems that there is actually some interest in this module so I will accept feature requests.

Here is something that supports Mac OS X (Darwin): http://www.algonet.se/~afb/d/cpuinfo.zip Name: ppc7450 CPU Type: CPU_TYPE_POWERPC CPU Subtype: CPU_SUBTYPE_POWERPC_7450 Description: PowerPC 7450 Vector Unit: true Name: i486 CPU Type: CPU_TYPE_I386 CPU Subtype: CPU_SUBTYPE_486 Description: Intel 80486 Vector Unit: true It's not public domain but copyrighted*, though... But sysctl(3) should be all that a "cpuid" needs ? Maybe that can be used to write a portable version: hw.cpufrequency: 800000000 hw.optional.altivec: 1 --anders * Since it needs to use the Mac OS X system headers.

Weird indeed. The thread and core fields are initialised to one, and only if HTT is available is the code that set them invoked. As you dont have HTT on the list this really does not make sense. Can you try printing the value of those fields before the 'if (hyperThreading)' in CPUID.this ?

Could it be because you run the code from constructor? Maybe it is not yet set at that point, just guessing?

Do you think you could narrow this down? Seems it's not happening for Windows users. Might as well report it if it's a real bug. Basically some testing of class member initialisers.
