name of file the lines of which give the CPU info ``as
on Linux''
Value
Sys.cpuinfo() returns a named character vector, Sys.MIPS
a number giving an approximation of the Million
Iinstructions Per Second that the CPU
processes. This is a performance measure of the basic
non-numeric processing capabilities and for Linux systems often
about twice the basic clock rate in ``MHz'' as available by
Sys.cpuinfo()["cpu MHz"].
if(substr(R.version[["os"]], 1,5) == "linux") { ##-- only on Linux cbind(Sys.cpuinfo())
Sys.MIPS()
Sys.MIPS() / as.numeric(Sys.cpuinfo()["cpu MHz"]) ## < often about 2}
