Capabilities and cache properties of a specific processor

To view the cache properties of a processor on a given connector, type:

omreport chassis processors index=n

omreport mainsystem processors index=n

The index parameter is optional. If you do not specify the index, Server Administrator displays properties for all processors. If you

specify the index, Server Administrator displays properties for a specific processor.

The following table lists the fields that are defined for the capabilities present on a particular microprocessor:

Table 22. Microprocessors and Fields

Microprocessor Fields

Intel Processor

• 64-bit Support

• Hyperthreading (HT)

• Virtualization Technology (VT)

• Demand-Based Switching (DBS)

• Execute Disable (XD)

• Turbo Mode

AMD Processor

The following fields are defined for a cache present on a particular microprocessor. If the cache is internal to the processor, the

fields do not appear in the cache report:

• Speed

• Cache Device Supported Type

• Cache Device Current Type

• External Socket Name

The following table displays the fields that are displayed for each cache on a particular processor:

Table 23. Fields And Description

Field Description

Status Reports whether a specific cache on the processor is enabled or disabled.

Level Refers to a primary or secondary cache. Primary-level cache is a memory bank built into

the processor. Secondary-level cache is a staging area that feeds the primary cache. A

secondary-level cache is built into the processor or resides in a memory chipset outside the

processor. The internal processor cache is referred to as a Level 1 (or L1). L2 cache is the

external cache in a system with an Intel Pentium processor, and it is the second level of

cache that is accessed. The names L1 and L2 are not indicative of where the cache is

physically located (internal or external), but describe which cache is accessed first (L1,

therefore internal).

Speed Refers to the rate at which the cache can forward data from the main memory to the

processor.

Max Size Maximum amount of memory that the cache can hold in kilobytes.

Installed Size Actual size of the cache.
