Synopsis: How to determine CPU speed from the ok prompt of a SunBlade systems

Keywords: speed, cpu, properties, Sunblade , 1000, 2000, 280r, Netra 20, T4

Description:

Perform the following 2 commands from the ok prompt:

ok> cd /SUNW,UltraSPARC-III@0,0

ok> .properties

sparc-version 00 00 00 09

ecache-associativity 00 00 00 01

#dtlb-entries 00 00 00 10

dcache-associativity 00 00 00 04

dcache-line-size 00 00 00 20

dcache-size 00 01 00 00

#itlb-entries 00 00 00 10

icache-associativity 00 00 00 04

icache-line-size 00 00 00 20

icache-size 00 00 80 00

clock-frequency 2cb41780

name SUNW,UltraSPARC-III

ok>

Take the hex value of the clock-frequency from the .properties ouput and convert it to decimal

in the example above the hex value of the clock-frequency is 2cb41780 and when converted to decimal we get 750000000 (i.e speed=750MHz)
