Retrieving the CPU Number

The number of CPUs of the computer on which the agentA program that enables the de-centralized execution of processes (such as deployments) on target systems (computers or business solutions) or a service that provides connectivity to a target system (such as for databases or middleware). An agent is also an object type in the Automation Engine. [Formerly called "Executor."] See also: host runs is output in the log file and in the System Overview.

Hyper-threading

For technical reasons, the Windows agent cannot retrieve the correct number of CPUs for all supported Windows versionsAn application version holds zero or more deployment packages and may have dependencies to zero or more application versions of the same (or to different) applications if the computer runs with hyper-thread turned on. In such a case, the agent supplies a lower number of CPUs than is actually available. The following table lists the Windows versions for which the number of CPUs is correctly retrieved:

Windows version x86 x64
Windows 2003 Yes Yes
Windows XP As of Service Pack 3 As of Service Pack 3
Windows Vista Yes Yes
Windows 2008 Yes Yes
