Node.js os.cpus() Method

13 Oct, 2021
The os.cpus() method is an inbuilt application programming interface of the os module which is used to get information about each logical CPU core of the computer.
Syntax:
os.cpus()
Parameters: This method does not accept any parameters.
Return: This method returns an object containing information about each logical CPU core. Each of the returned object will contains the following attributes:
model: A string that specifies the model of the CPU core.
speed: A number that specifies the speed of the CPU core (in MHz).
times: An Object that contains the following properties:user: A number specifies the time that the CPU has spent in user mode in milliseconds.nice: A number specifies the time that the CPU has spent in nice mode in milliseconds.sys: A number specifies the time that the CPU has spent in sys mode in milliseconds.idle: A number specifies the time that the CPU has spent in idle mode in milliseconds.irq: A number specifies the time that the CPU has spent in irq mode in milliseconds.
user: A number specifies the time that the CPU has spent in user mode in milliseconds.
nice: A number specifies the time that the CPU has spent in nice mode in milliseconds.
sys: A number specifies the time that the CPU has spent in sys mode in milliseconds.
idle: A number specifies the time that the CPU has spent in idle mode in milliseconds.
irq: A number specifies the time that the CPU has spent in irq mode in milliseconds.
Note: The nice values are used for POSIX Only. On Windows operating system, the nice value of all processor are always 0 .
Below examples illustrate the use of os.cpus() method in Node.js:
Example 1:
// Node.js program to demonstrate the   // os.cpus() method  // Allocating os moduleconst os = require('os');  // Printing os.cpus() valuesconsole.log(os.cpus());
Output:
[ { model: 'Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7200U CPU @ 2.50GHz',
    speed: 2712,
    times:
     { user: 900000, nice: 0, sys: 940265, idle: 11928546, irq: 147046 } },
  { model: 'Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7200U CPU @ 2.50GHz',
    speed: 2712,
    times:
     { user: 860875, nice: 0, sys: 507093, idle: 12400500, irq: 27062 } },
  { model: 'Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7200U CPU @ 2.50GHz',
    speed: 2712,
    times:
     { user: 1273421, nice: 0, sys: 618765, idle: 11876281, irq: 13125 } },
  { model: 'Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7200U CPU @ 2.50GHz',
    speed: 2712,
    times:
     { user: 943921, nice: 0, sys: 460109, idle: 12364453, irq: 12437 } } ]

Example 2:
// Node.js program to demonstrate the   // os.cpus() method  // Allocating os moduleconst os = require('os');  // Printing os.cpus()var cpu_s=os.cpus();var no_of_logical_core=0;cpu_s.forEach(element => {     no_of_logical_core++;    console.log("Logical core "            + no_of_logical_core + " :");    console.log(element); });   console.log("total number of logical core is "        + no_of_logical_core);
Output:
Logical core 1 :
{ model: 'Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7200U CPU @ 2.50GHz',
  speed: 2712,
  times:
   { user: 856437, nice: 0, sys: 866203, idle: 11070046, irq: 133562 } }
Logical core 2 :
{ model: 'Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7200U CPU @ 2.50GHz',
  speed: 2712,
  times:
   { user: 805296, nice: 0, sys: 462656, idle: 11524406, irq: 23218 } }
Logical core 3 :
{ model: 'Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7200U CPU @ 2.50GHz',
  speed: 2712,
  times:
   { user: 1225062, nice: 0, sys: 566421, idle: 11000875, irq: 12203 } }
Logical core 4 :
{ model: 'Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7200U CPU @ 2.50GHz',
  speed: 2712,
  times:
   { user: 900234, nice: 0, sys: 420000, idle: 11472125, irq: 11781 } }
total number of logical core is 4

Note: The above program will compile and run by using the node index.js command.
