On OS-X, you can get this string from the sysctlbyname() call:
const char *name = "machdep.cpu.brand_string";
char buffer[ 64 ];
size_t size = 64;
if( !sysctlbyname( name, buffer, &size, NULL, 0 ) )
memcpy( cpu_model, buffer, 12 * sizeof( int ) );
if That doesn't work, you can get it from calling system_profiler and
parsing the output.
On Widows (32 bit), the only way I've found is to actually use the cpuid
assembly call:
int ints[ 12 ];
// Use assembly to detect CPUID information...
_asm
{
; we must push/pop the registers <<CPUID>> writes to, as the
; optimiser doesn't know about <<CPUID>>, and so doesn't expect
; these registers to change.
push eax
push ebx
push ecx
push edx
; eax = 0x80000002 --> eax, ebx, ecx, edx: get processor name
string (part 1)
mov eax,0x80000002
cpuid
mov ints[ 0 * TYPE int ], eax
mov ints[ 1 * TYPE int ], ebx
mov ints[ 2 * TYPE int ], ecx
mov ints[ 3 * TYPE int ], edx
; eax = 0x80000003 --> eax, ebx, ecx, edx: get processor name
string (part 2)
mov eax,0x80000003
cpuid
mov ints[ 4 * TYPE int ], eax
mov ints[ 5 * TYPE int ], ebx
mov ints[ 6 * TYPE int ], ecx
mov ints[ 7 * TYPE int ], edx
; eax = 0x80000004 --> eax, ebx, ecx, edx: get processor name
string (part 3)
mov eax,0x80000004
cpuid
mov ints[ 8 * TYPE int ], eax
mov ints[ 9 * TYPE int ], ebx
mov ints[ 10 * TYPE int ], ecx
mov ints[ 11 * TYPE int ], edx
pop edx
pop ecx
pop ebx
pop eax
}
::memcpy( cpu_model, ints, 12 * sizeof( int ) );
I don't know if that would work on Win64, though. Do you think those
could be added to hwloc?
Thanks
