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。

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];

#include <stdint.h>

#if defined(__APPLE__) || defined(__FreeBSD__)
#include <sys/sysctl.h>

uint32_t num_physical_cores(void)
{
    uint32_t num_cores      = 0;
    size_t num_cores_len    = sizeof(num_cores);

    sysctlbyname("hw.physicalcpu", &num_cores, &num_cores_len, 0, 0);

    return num_cores;
}
#elif defined(__linux__)
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
uint32_t num_physical_cores(void)
{
    uint32_t lcores = 0, tsibs = 0;

    char buff[32];
    char path[64];

    for (lcores = 0;;lcores++) {
        FILE *cpu;

        snprintf(path, sizeof(path), "/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu%u/topology/thread_siblings_list", lcores);

        cpu = fopen(path, "r");
        if (!cpu) break;

        while (fscanf(cpu, "%[0-9]", buff)) {
            tsibs++;
            if (fgetc(cpu) != ',') break;
        }

        fclose(cpu);
    }

    return lcores / (tsibs / lcores);
}
#else
#error Unrecognized operating system
#endif

这将返回系统上的物理核数。这与大多数答案提供的逻辑核数量不同。如果您希望确定一个不执行阻塞I/O且不休眠的线程池的大小，那么您希望使用物理内核的数量，而不是逻辑(超线程)内核的数量。

这个答案只提供Linux和bsd的实现。

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……

还有一个Windows秘方:使用系统范围的环境变量NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS:

printf("%d\n", atoi(getenv("NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS")));

Windows (x64和Win32)和c++ 11

共享单个处理器核心的逻辑处理器组的数目。(使用GetLogicalProcessorInformationEx，参见GetLogicalProcessorInformation)

size_t NumberOfPhysicalCores() noexcept {

    DWORD length = 0;
    const BOOL result_first = GetLogicalProcessorInformationEx(RelationProcessorCore, nullptr, &length);
    assert(GetLastError() == ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER);

    std::unique_ptr< uint8_t[] > buffer(new uint8_t[length]);
    const PSYSTEM_LOGICAL_PROCESSOR_INFORMATION_EX info = 
            reinterpret_cast< PSYSTEM_LOGICAL_PROCESSOR_INFORMATION_EX >(buffer.get());

    const BOOL result_second = GetLogicalProcessorInformationEx(RelationProcessorCore, info, &length);
    assert(result_second != FALSE);

    size_t nb_physical_cores = 0;
    size_t offset = 0;
    do {
        const PSYSTEM_LOGICAL_PROCESSOR_INFORMATION_EX current_info =
            reinterpret_cast< PSYSTEM_LOGICAL_PROCESSOR_INFORMATION_EX >(buffer.get() + offset);
        offset += current_info->Size;
        ++nb_physical_cores;
    } while (offset < length);
        
    return nb_physical_cores;
}

注意，NumberOfPhysicalCores的实现在我看来远非简单(例如:"使用GetLogicalProcessorInformation或GetLogicalProcessorInformationEx")。相反，如果阅读MSDN的文档(显式地为GetLogicalProcessorInformation提供，隐式地为GetLogicalProcessorInformationEx提供)，就会发现这是相当微妙的。

逻辑处理器的数量。(使用GetSystemInfo)

size_t NumberOfSystemCores() noexcept {
    SYSTEM_INFO system_info;
    ZeroMemory(&system_info, sizeof(system_info));
    
    GetSystemInfo(&system_info);
    
    return static_cast< size_t >(system_info.dwNumberOfProcessors);
}

注意，这两种方法都可以很容易地转换为C/ c++ 98/ c++ 03。
