  1. You can view CPU-related information in the system by using the lscpu command, which includes details such as CPU model, architecture, number of cores, number of threads, cache size, and more.<\/li>\n
  2. View information about NUMA nodes in the system: The lscpu command can also be used to display information about NUMA nodes in the system, such as the number of nodes and their affinity.<\/li>\n
  3. Check CPU architecture information: the lscpu command enables viewing system CPU architecture information, including CPU bit number and byte order.<\/li>\n
  4. To check the extension instruction sets supported by the CPU, you can use the lscpu command to view the system’s supported extension instruction sets, such as SSE, AVX, etc.<\/li>\n
  5. Use the lscpu command to view the frequency limitation information of the CPU, including maximum, minimum, and current frequencies in the system.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
