在Linux上，可以读取/proc/cpuinfo文件并计算核数。

Note that "number of cores" might not be a particularly useful number, you might have to qualify it a bit more. How do you want to count multi-threaded CPUs such as Intel HT, IBM Power5 and Power6, and most famously, Sun's Niagara/UltraSparc T1 and T2? Or even more interesting, the MIPS 1004k with its two levels of hardware threading (supervisor AND user-level)... Not to mention what happens when you move into hypervisor-supported systems where the hardware might have tens of CPUs but your particular OS only sees a few.

最好的情况是告诉您在本地OS分区中拥有的逻辑处理单元的数量。除非您是管理程序，否则不要考虑看到真正的机器。今天这个规则唯一的例外是在x86领域，但非虚拟机的末日很快就会到来……

C++11

#include <thread>

//may return 0 when not able to detect
const auto processor_count = std::thread::hardware_concurrency();

参考:std::线程::hardware_concurrency

在c++ 11之前的c++中，没有可移植的方法。相反，你需要使用以下一个或多个方法(由适当的#ifdef行保护):

Win32 SYSTEM_INFO sysinfo; GetSystemInfo(&sysinfo); int numCPU = sysinfo.dwNumberOfProcessors; Linux, Solaris, AIX and Mac OS X >=10.4 (i.e. Tiger onwards) int numCPU = sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN); FreeBSD, MacOS X, NetBSD, OpenBSD, etc. int mib[4]; int numCPU; std::size_t len = sizeof(numCPU); /* set the mib for hw.ncpu */ mib[0] = CTL_HW; mib[1] = HW_AVAILCPU; // alternatively, try HW_NCPU; /* get the number of CPUs from the system */ sysctl(mib, 2, &numCPU, &len, NULL, 0); if (numCPU < 1) { mib[1] = HW_NCPU; sysctl(mib, 2, &numCPU, &len, NULL, 0); if (numCPU < 1) numCPU = 1; } HPUX int numCPU = mpctl(MPC_GETNUMSPUS, NULL, NULL); IRIX int numCPU = sysconf(_SC_NPROC_ONLN); Objective-C (Mac OS X >=10.5 or iOS) NSUInteger a = [[NSProcessInfo processInfo] processorCount]; NSUInteger b = [[NSProcessInfo processInfo] activeProcessorCount];

在linux上，据我所知，最好的编程方式是使用

sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF)

or

sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN)

这些不是标准的，但是在我的Linux手册页中。

OpenMP在许多平台(包括Visual Studio 2005)上都得到了支持，并且它提供了一种支持

int omp_get_num_procs();

函数返回调用时可用的处理器/核数。

Hwloc (http://www.open-mpi.org/projects/hwloc/)值得一看。虽然需要将另一个库集成到代码中，但它可以提供关于处理器的所有信息(核数、拓扑结构等)。
