sysdata - find basic hardware system data

Contents

Description

       After  the  atlc  package  is  built,  a  small  benchmark  is run as part of the testing procedure. This
       benchmark tries to get some information about  the  hardware.  The  program  sysdata  displays  the  same
       hardware  information  that  the  benchmark will display, but runs in a fraction of a second, whereas the
       benchmark can take from 19 s (quad 1.4 GHz Itainium 2 machine) to 14,906 s (for a very old 33.3 MHz  Cray
       Y-MP). There are no options or arguments to sysdata

       The  information  gathered  on  hardware and software both developed by the same company (i.e. Solaris on
       Suns, AIX on IBM RS/6000, IRIX on SGI, ... etc etc) is generally more informative than the  free  systems
       (Linux, NetBSD, OpenBSD, FreeBSD) where it is usually impossible to get much hardware information.

Examples

       Here  are some examples of the use of sysdata on a number of systems. The large number of examples is for
       my own use as much as anything, so I can keep track of the development of sysdata and see easily where it
       needs extending. Examples are presented for:

       1) Sun Ultra 80 running Solaris 9
       2) HP C3000 running HP-UX 11
       3) SGI Octane running IRIX 6.5.16
       4) IBM RS/6000 running AIX 5.2
       5) Dec Alpha 600a Personal Workstation running Tru64 5.1B
       6) Cray Y-MP running UNICOS 9
       7) Sun SPARCstation 20 running NetBSD 1.6
       8) Sun SPARCstation 20 running OpenBSD 3.2
       9) Sun SPARCstation 20 running Debian Linux
       10) Sun SPARCstation 20 running Solaris 2.5
       11) Generic PC with 350 MHz Pentium II running Redhat Linux 7.2

       Here's the output from sysdata on these 11 systems.

       Here's an example on a HP 9000 series Visualize C3000 workstation, fitted with one 400 MHz  PA-RISC  8500
       CPU and 1.5 Gb of RAM

       Here's  another  example  this time on an SGI Octane R10000 with 2 x 195 MHz processors. Note the CPU and
       FPU types reported at not the R10000 and R10010 that are reported by SGI's hinv. sysdata is not meant  to
       replace  other  more  sophisticated  ways of obtaining system information (such as hinv on IRIX), but its
       data is useful to record for benchmarking purposes.

       e.g.3(SGIOctaneR1000)

       Here's an example using an IBM RS/6000 F50 with 4 x 332 MHz CPUs and 1 GB of RAM.

       And here's an example from a single 599 MHz processor Dec Alpha 600a Personal Workstation  running  Tru64

       Here's some data collected on a very old Cray Y-MP, which was introduced in 1991.

       That  is  all the examples of commercial hardware running the operating systems made by the manufacturers
       of the hardware. The following are free UNIX versions. In these cases  the  data  gathered  is  never  as
       complete.  In  particular  the amoumt of memory reported if often less than the real amount due to memory
       taken by the operating system (kernel etc). The number of processors the  system  can  support  is  never
       available.

       Here's the first such non-commercial UNIX from a single processor Sun SPARCstation 20 running NetBSD 1.6.

       e.g.7(SunSPARCstation20runningNetBSD1.6)
       Hardware provider:    unknown
       Hardware platform:    unknown

       Here's  data from a Sun SPARCstation 20 running OpenBSD 3.2. The machine has 320 Mb of RAM, not 318 Mb as
       indicated. The number of processors the system supports is reported as unknown,  but  should  the  system
       have  been  running  Solaris  9,  as  in  the  example 1 (sparrow), then this information would have been
       determined, but it is not available under OpenBSD - or Solaris 2.5 for that matter.

       e.g.8(SunSPARCstation20runningOpenBSD3.2)
       Hardware provider:    unknown
       Hardware platform:    unknown
       Machine:              sparc

       The next machine is a Sun SPARCstation 20 running Debian Linux. The version of  Debian  is  unknown,  but
       clearly sysdata is unable to determine this.

       Here's  data  from  a Sun SPARCstation 20 running Solaris 2.5 (SunOS 5.5). The machine probably does have
       352 Mb of RAM as reported. The number of processors the system  supports  is  reported  as  unknown,  but
       should the system have been running Solaris 9, as in the example 1 (sparrow), then this information would
       have been determined, but it is not available under Solaris 2.5.
