I'm running a Linux c5d.9xlarge instance and wondering what CPU it's using. Amazon's Instance Types webpage states:
C5 and C5d 12xlarge, 24xlarge, and metal instances have the following specs:
- Custom 2nd generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processors (Cascade Lake) with a sustained all core Turbo frequency of 3.6GHz and single core turbo frequency of up to 3.9GHz.
All other C5 and C5d instances have the following specs:
- Custom 2nd generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processors (Cascade Lake) with a sustained all core Turbo frequency of 3.6GHz and single core turbo frequency of up to 3.9GHz or 1st generation Intel Xeon Platinum 8000 series (Skylake-SP) processor with a sustained all core Turbo frequency of up to 3.4GHz, and single core turbo frequency of up to 3.5 GHz.
So I'm curious whether I have a 1st generation Xeon Platinum 8000 series or a 2nd generation Xeon Scalable Processor. How can I check? uname -a
just gives me:
$ uname -a
Linux ip-111-11-11-111.us-west-1.compute.internal 4.14.165-131.185.amzn2.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Jan 15 14:19:56 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I'm using the amzn2-ami-hvm-2.0.20200207.1-x86_64-gp2
AMI.
lscpu
orcat /proc/cpuinfo
should have what you need.
