 This video is part of a series be sure to check out the description the video for the full playlist in the last video We looked at some quick ways to see information about your memory today We're going to look at a few quick options about your CPU about your processors now I've as I mentioned the previous video a great little tool is top gives you a little bit of CPU information there Q2 Quit out of that an H top gives you a much better visual as you can see I have eight cores on my processor here So you can see each one broken down on how they're working So it gives you a little bit more information there and a visual of how they're being used both H top and top Are readily available, but not necessarily installed on your system by fault default So you may have to install them just use your repositories through your software Your package manager app to get aptitude or wherever package manager you use on your system Next command you can try is LS CPU is usually available And that will give you some CPU information for some reason that doesn't work You can get similar information by saying cat forward slash proc forward slash CPU info and we'll hit enter you can see that gives the same information but broken down for each each core and you can also look at the man file for Lcpu and it will tell you more information how to break down that information and Last but not least we're gonna look at a program called m stat or sorry mp stat Which is most likely not installed on your system by default. It is part of a package called Sistat so use your package manager whether it be aptitude app get or whatever the package is probably called Sistat has a number of programs in there one of which is m stat And you're gonna want to use sudo for this sudo and hit enter and it will give you some cpu information here and if we do cpu one you'll notice that it continually goes on And on and what's doing it has an interval of one second because we use one if I do the same command with two There'll be a two-second delay in between each output And of course on up I can say like five seconds So there's gonna be five seconds in between each update depending on how quickly you want to see information come up on the screen And if we quickly use man for mp stat We can see all the different commands here the switches the arguments that you can pass to it And you can see interval counts That's what we were doing and then there's also the dash a command which actually incorporates a few of the different commands here So let's go ahead and give that try sudo mp stat dash capital a remember things are case sensitive We'll hit enter and we get a lot of information here that you can look through this part isn't too well Formatted but we come up to the top you can see each core broken down here and It just gives you a little more information Just read through the man file for more information on that again I think the quickest and easiest way is h top gives you a nice quick visual And the other commands are are good if you want to log stuff to a file You can grep through the output of the other commands But if you just want to get a quick visual h top is great for that I thank you for watching as always.
