I am trying to check the performance of a program. I refer this post get OS-level system information. When Runtime.availableProcessors() executes, I get an answer of 4. I read availableProcessors() but it tells that this method returns number of processors
- Can anyone explain what is mean by number of processors ?
- Why am getting 4 as result ?
I am using Windows 7 core i5 4gp.
As you’ve read, availableProcessors() is a method that returns the
number of processors available to the JVM. 4 means the number of processors currently available for JVM.These lines return the
number of logical coreson Windows and in other operating systems.On a computer with a quad-core Core i7 supporting Hyper-Threading, it will return 8.
On a computer with a quad-core Q6700, this method will return 4.
