Free cpu software for linux

Sys::CPU is a Perl extension for getting CPU information. Currently only number of CPUs supported.

SYNOPSIS

use Sys::CPU;

$number_of_cpus = Sys::CPU::cpu_count();
printf("I have %d CPUsn",$number_of_cpus);
print " Speed : ",Sys::CPU::cpu_clock(),"n";
print " Type : ",Sys::CPU::cpu_type(),"n";

In responce to a post on perlmonks.org, a module for counting the number of CPUs on a system. Support has now also been added for type of CPU and clock speed. While much of the code is from UNIX::Processors, win32 support has been added (but not tested).

WMBlueCPU is a dockapp that monitors your systems cpu usage. It can do SMP too.

WMBlueCPU installation instructions:

Edit the Makefile to set the installation directory and target OS and then at the shell prompt type:

$ make
$ su -c make install

To uninstall do:

$ su -c make uninstall

Clean Karamba CPU is a clean and simple, font is included.
Monitors:
- Cpu type
- Speed
- Cache
- Temp
- Load
If there are problems please post them, so i can make a better version.

GNOME CPUFreq Applet is a CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor for GNOME Panel.
Main features:
- Support for proc or sys filesystems
- Support for multiprocessor systems

Xfce 4 Cpufreq Plugin shows in the Xfce Panel the following, chooseable informations:
- current CPU frequency
- current used governor
In a seperate dialog it provides you following informations of all available informations:
- all available CPU frequencies
- all available governors
- used driver for the cpu
Usage:
Using the plugin is quite simple. You select the cpu which you want to monitor in the Xfce Panel. Next thing you could change is the timeout interval how often the informations have to be updated. A good value is 1,0 which means 100 ms.
You can also specify which informations should be displayed in the panel.

This is a project to create 64-bit virtual CPU, create a 64 bit assembler for the CPU and then port C to it, and then create scripts to port GNU/Linux to it.
The aim is to run 64-bit Linux on common 8/16/32 bit CPUs in applications where speed is not an issue.
Enhancements:
- Added C code intended tor a PIC Preliminary documentation More updates to Gambas program

Linux ATI CPU HDD Control Daemon is able to reduce power consumption in a laptop by scaling back CPU, GPU (Radeon only), and HDD.
It uses CPUFreq, ACPI, HDDTemp, and internal functions. It also checks for thermal overheating for the sake of laptop health.
Now implementing an app scheduling for running aplications when the laptop is on low cpu usage and AC connected. Its still necessary to recompile lach to set the programs to run.
Also im implementing a TCP daemon for non-root users can change the CPU speed withou having to be root. This option will be disabled by default for security reasons, when it is 100% functional it will be added as default configuration.
The makefile now implements arquitecture compiler optimizations, see makefile before compile.
Ive programmed this like a hobbie (who the hell has programming as an hobbie) so, if something isnt in the best way I realy thank people that mail me with ideas for some of the algorithms and functions implementations.
Enhancements:
- A little code cleanup in lach-scaling.c and lach-ati_scaling.c.
- Changes in show_status().
- A compiler change option.
- get_system_version() has been reworked, and is now get_system_config().
- A kernel /proc/config.gz configuration file.
- Changes in the readme, the -k option, and in hddtempd().
- The indentation has been changed to Kernighan and Ritchie.
- System error messages have been added in the panic routine.
- This release logs computer status on emergency shutdown for debugging.
