@stdlib/os-num-cpus NPM

Number of CPUs

Number of CPUs.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/os-num-cpus

Usage

var NUM_CPUS = require( '@stdlib/os-num-cpus' );

NUM_CPUS

Number of CPUs.

var n = NUM_CPUS;
// returns <number>

Notes

In a web browser, the number of CPUs is determined by querying the hardware concurrency API.
Otherwise, the number of CPUs is determined via the os module.

Examples

var proc = require( 'process' );
var cluster = require( 'cluster' );
var NUM_CPUS = require( '@stdlib/os-num-cpus' );

var i;

function onTimeout() {
    proc.exit( 0 );
}

if ( cluster.isMaster ) {
    for ( i = 0; i < NUM_CPUS; i++ ) {
        cluster.fork();
    }
} else {
    console.log( 'Worker %s. Process id: %d.', cluster.worker.id, cluster.worker.process.pid );

    setTimeout( onTimeout, 1000 );
}

Notice

This package is part of stdlib, a standard library for JavaScript and Node.js, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computing. The library provides a collection of robust, high performance libraries for mathematics, statistics, streams, utilities, and more.
