Existe alguma maneira de saber o tamanho do cache L1, L2, L3 e RAM no Linux?

Question

Existe alguma maneira de saber o tamanho dos caches L1, L2, L3 e RAM no Linux?

    

Answer 1

Se você tem lshw instalado:

$ sudo lshw -C memory

Exemplo

$ sudo lshw -C memory
...

Answer 2

lscpu

Se você se importa apenas com os tamanhos, tente lscpu de util-linux .

Exemplo

$ lscpu

L3 cache:              3072K
NUMA node0 CPU(s):     0-3

x86info

Deve haver também o pacote / comando chamado x86info. Supondo que você tenha i386 / x86_64, x86info -c deve fornecer informações mais detalhadas sobre caches.

Exemplo

$ x86info -c

Answer 3

Você poderia tentar este comando.

$sudo dmidecode -t cache

Exemplo

$ sudo dmidecode -t cache | grep -iE "leve|installed"
    Configuration: Enabled, Socketed, Level 1
    Installed Size: 32 kB
    Installed SRAM Type: Asynchronous
    Configuration: Enabled, Socketed, Level 2
    Installed Size: 256 kB
    Installed SRAM Type: Burst
    Configuration: Enabled, Socketed, Level 3
    Installed Size: 3072 kB
    Installed SRAM Type: Burst

Para ver a RAM, basta adicionar a opção adicional -t memory .

$ sudo dmidecode -t cache -t memory

Answer 4

Existem arquivos especiais exportados para o sistema de arquivos / sys sysfs Linux desde 2008:

link

What:       /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cache/index*/<set_of_attributes_mentioned_below>
Date:       July 2014(documented, existed before August 2008)
Description:    Parameters for the CPU cache attributes

    allocation_policy:
        - WriteAllocate: allocate a memory location to a cache line
                 on a cache miss because of a write
        - ReadAllocate: allocate a memory location to a cache line
                on a cache miss because of a read
        - ReadWriteAllocate: both writeallocate and readallocate

    coherency_line_size: the minimum amount of data in bytes that gets
                 transferred from memory to cache

    level: the cache hierarchy in the multi-level cache configuration

    number_of_sets: total number of sets in the cache, a set is a
            collection of cache lines with the same cache index

    physical_line_partition: number of physical cache line per cache tag

    shared_cpu_list: the list of logical cpus sharing the cache

    shared_cpu_map: logical cpu mask containing the list of cpus sharing
            the cache

    size: the total cache size in kB

    type:
        - Instruction: cache that only holds instructions
        - Data: cache that only caches data
        - Unified: cache that holds both data and instructions

    ways_of_associativity: degree of freedom in placing a particular block
                of memory in the cache

    write_policy:
        - WriteThrough: data is written to both the cache line
                and to the block in the lower-level memory
        - WriteBack: data is written only to the cache line and
                 the modified cache line is written to main
                 memory only when it is replaced

Arquivos de ID:

What:       /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cache/index*/id
Date:       September 2016
Contact:    Linux kernel mailing list <[email protected]>
Description:    Cache id

    The id provides a unique number for a specific instance of
    a cache of a particular type. E.g. there may be a level
    3 unified cache on each socket in a server and we may
    assign them ids 0, 1, 2, ...

    Note that id value can be non-contiguous. E.g. level 1
    caches typically exist per core, but there may not be a
    power of two cores on a socket, so these caches may be
    numbered 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, ...

    

Answer 5

cpuid

Outra opção é o programa cpuid . Ele usa instruções CPUID e não requer raiz. Ele também pode trabalhar através do módulo do kernel Linux cpuid .

cache and TLB information (2):
   0x59: data TLB: 4K pages, 16 entries
   0xba: data TLB: 4K pages, 4-way, 64 entries
   0x4f: instruction TLB: 4K pages, 32 entries
   0xc0: data TLB: 4K & 4M pages, 4-way, 8 entries
   0x80: L2 cache: 512K, 8-way, 64 byte lines
   0x30: L1 cache: 32K, 8-way, 64 byte lines
   0x0e: L1 data cache: 24K, 6-way, 64 byte lines

Observe que, em CPUs comuns ao consumidor, os caches L1 e L2 são por núcleo, enquanto o cache L3 é compartilhado por todos os núcleos.

    

Answer 6

se você quiser apenas o L3, então cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "cache size" deve ser suficiente

    

Answer 7

getconf

getconf -a | grep CACHE

dá:

LEVEL1_ICACHE_SIZE                 32768
LEVEL1_ICACHE_ASSOC                8
LEVEL1_ICACHE_LINESIZE             64
LEVEL1_DCACHE_SIZE                 32768
LEVEL1_DCACHE_ASSOC                8
LEVEL1_DCACHE_LINESIZE             64
LEVEL2_CACHE_SIZE                  262144
LEVEL2_CACHE_ASSOC                 8
LEVEL2_CACHE_LINESIZE              64
LEVEL3_CACHE_SIZE                  20971520
LEVEL3_CACHE_ASSOC                 20
LEVEL3_CACHE_LINESIZE              64
LEVEL4_CACHE_SIZE                  0
LEVEL4_CACHE_ASSOC                 0
LEVEL4_CACHE_LINESIZE              0

Ou para um único nível:

getconf LEVEL2_CACHE_SIZE

O legal dessa interface é que ela é apenas um wrapper em torno da função POSIX sysconf C (argumentos de cache são extensões não POSIX) e, portanto, ela também pode ser usada a partir do código C.
