## The goal
|
||||
|
||||
How man "CPUs" do I have in this computer? We need this information for multi-processing.

## os.cpu_count
|
||||
|
||||
We get the core count inclusive the virtual [hyper threading](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper-threading) cores. But it is included in Python:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
import os
|
||||
# If -1 then it looks up the amount of available CPU HT cores
|
||||
number_of_cpu_processes: int = -1
|
||||
number_of_cpu_processes_temp = os.cpu_count()
|
||||
|
||||
if number_of_cpu_processes < 1:
|
||||
if number_of_cpu_processes_temp is None:
|
||||
number_of_cpu_processes = 1
|
||||
else:
|
||||
number_of_cpu_processes = number_of_cpu_processes_temp
|
||||
|
||||
print(number_of_cpu_processes) #-> 12 (for my computer)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Alternative [psutil](https://github.com/giampaolo/psutil)
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
pip install psutil
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
[psutil](https://github.com/giampaolo/psutil): "Cross-platform lib for process and system monitoring in Python"
|
||||
|
||||
I can deliver us more than just the CPU count:
|
||||
|
||||
* CPU
|
||||
* Memory
|
||||
* Disks
|
||||
* Network
|
||||
* Sensors
|
||||
* Other system info
|
||||
* Process management
|
||||
* Further process APIs
|
||||
* Windows services
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
import psutil
|
||||
|
||||
number_of_cpu_processes: int = -1
|
||||
number_of_cpu_processes_no_ht: int = -1
|
||||
if number_of_cpu_processes == -1:
|
||||
number_of_cpu_processes = psutil.cpu_count()
|
||||
number_of_cpu_processes_no_ht = psutil.cpu_count(logical=False)
|
||||
|
||||
print(number_of_cpu_processes) # -> 12 (for my computer)
|
||||
|
||||
print(number_of_cpu_processes_no_ht) # -> 6 (for my computer)
|
||||
```
