LMI_Processor

Class reference

Subclass of CIM_Processor

Capabilities and management of the Processor LogicalDevice.

Local properties

string InstanceID

InstanceID is an optional property that may be used to opaquely and uniquely identify an instance of this class within the scope of the instantiating Namespace. Various subclasses of this class may override this property to make it required, or a key. Such subclasses may also modify the preferred algorithms for ensuring uniqueness that are defined below.

To ensure uniqueness within the NameSpace, the value of InstanceID should be constructed using the following “preferred” algorithm:

<OrgID>:<LocalID>

Where <OrgID> and <LocalID> are separated by a colon (:), and where <OrgID> must include a copyrighted, trademarked, or otherwise unique name that is owned by the business entity that is creating or defining the InstanceID or that is a registered ID assigned to the business entity by a recognized global authority. (This requirement is similar to the <Schema Name>_<Class Name> structure of Schema class names.) In addition, to ensure uniqueness, <OrgID> must not contain a colon (:). When using this algorithm, the first colon to appear in InstanceID must appear between <OrgID> and <LocalID>.

<LocalID> is chosen by the business entity and should not be reused to identify different underlying (real-world) elements. If not null and the above “preferred” algorithm is not used, the defining entity must assure that the resulting InstanceID is not reused across any InstanceIDs produced by this or other providers for the NameSpace of this instance.

If not set to null for DMTF-defined instances, the “preferred” algorithm must be used with the <OrgID> set to CIM.

string SystemName

The System Name of the scoping system.

uint32 ExternalBusClockSpeed

The speed (in MHz) of the external bus interface (also known as the front side bus).

string Architecture

System architecture.

string Role

A free-form string that describes the role of the Processor, for example, “Central Processor” or “Math Processor”.

string Name

The Name property defines the label by which the object is known. When subclassed, the Name property can be overridden to be a Key property.

string ElementName

A user-friendly name for the object. This property allows each instance to define a user-friendly name in addition to its key properties, identity data, and description information.

Note that the Name property of ManagedSystemElement is also defined as a user-friendly name. But, it is often subclassed to be a Key. It is not reasonable that the same property can convey both identity and a user-friendly name, without inconsistencies. Where Name exists and is not a Key (such as for instances of LogicalDevice), the same information can be present in both the Name and ElementName properties. Note that if there is an associated instance of CIM_EnabledLogicalElementCapabilities, restrictions on this properties may exist as defined in ElementNameMask and MaxElementNameLen properties defined in that class.

string Description

The Description property provides a textual description of the object.

uint16 AddressWidth

Processor address width in bits.

uint16[] EnabledProcessorCharacteristics

This property indicates the enabled states of the corresponding processor characteristics. The property array is indexed with ProcessorCharacteristics property array of the associated CIM_ProcessorCapabilities instance through the CIM_ElementCapabilities association. Each of the values in the ProcessorCharacteristics array property shall have its enabled state indicated in the corresponding element of this property array. For example; if the ProcessorCharacteristics array has value - NX-bit - for the first element of the array, then the first element of this property will contain the value for the enabled state of the NX-bit feature of the processor: whether the processor currently differentiates the dedicated storage memory based on the non-execute bit. Unknown - the processor feature is in unknown state. Enabled - the processor feature is enabled and could be used. Disabled - the processor feature is disabled and cannot be used. Not Applicable - the processor feature does not have state context.

uint32 CurrentClockSpeed

The current speed (in MHz) of this Processor.

uint32 MaxClockSpeed

The maximum speed (in MHz) of this Processor.

string UniqueID

A globally unique identifier for the Processor. This identifier can be unique only within a Processor Family.

uint16 EnabledState

EnabledState is an integer enumeration that indicates the enabled and disabled states of an element. It can also indicate the transitions between these requested states. For example, shutting down (value=4) and starting (value=10) are transient states between enabled and disabled. The following text briefly summarizes the various enabled and disabled states:

Enabled (2) indicates that the element is or could be executing commands, will process any queued commands, and queues new requests.

Disabled (3) indicates that the element will not execute commands and will drop any new requests.

Shutting Down (4) indicates that the element is in the process of going to a Disabled state.

Not Applicable (5) indicates the element does not support being enabled or disabled.

Enabled but Offline (6) indicates that the element might be completing commands, and will drop any new requests.

Test (7) indicates that the element is in a test state.

Deferred (8) indicates that the element might be completing commands, but will queue any new requests.

Quiesce (9) indicates that the element is enabled but in a restricted mode.

Starting (10) indicates that the element is in the process of going to an Enabled state. New requests are queued.

uint16[] Characteristics

Array of enumerated values that describes the characteristics of the processor. The characteristics include certain features of the processor such as 64 bit support for data width of the processor. Note that if this property does not contain the value corresponding to a feature of the processor, than the feature either is not that some of the features of the processor may exist but may not be enabled. To find the the currently enabled features the processor, reffer to the EnabledProcessorCharacteristics property. Values specified in the enumeration may be obtained from SMBIOS v2.5 Type 4 offset 26h (Processor Characteristics Word). 32-bit Capable - describes whether the processor has the capability for 32 bits data width. 64-bit Capable - describes whether the processor has the capability for 64 bits data width. Enhanced Virtualization - describes whether the processor has the capability for executing enhanced virtualization instructions. Hardware Thread - indicates that the processor is capable of the hardware threading. NX-bit - describes whether the processor has capability to utilize non-execute bit and can differentiate the memory marked strictly for storage. Power/Performance Control - describes whether the processor has capability for load based power savings. Core Frequency Boosting - describes whether the processor has a capability for one processor core to increase its frequency whenever the other core has gone into an idle state.
