[WinAPI] Cum aflu frecventa procesorului?

[Ovidiu Cucu]

Intrebare
Cum aflu frecventa curenta a microprocesorului?

Raspuns
Se pot folosi functiile API QueryPerformanceCounter si QueryPerformanceFrequency in combinatie cu instructiune procesor RDTSC (Read Time-Stamp Counter).

Exemplu

Code: Select all

ULONG GetCPUFrequency()
{
   LARGE_INTEGER nCntFrequency;
   if(!::QueryPerformanceFrequency(&nCntFrequency))
      return 0; // high-resolution performance counter not supported
   
   LARGE_INTEGER nCnt0, nCnt1;
   ULONG  nTs0, nTs1;
   
   HANDLE hThread = ::GetCurrentThread();
   int nPriority  = ::GetThreadPriority(hThread);
   ::SetThreadPriority(hThread, THREAD_PRIORITY_TIME_CRITICAL);

   ::QueryPerformanceCounter(&nCnt1);
   __asm
   {
      _emit 0x0f _asm _emit 0x31 // RDTSC
      MOV nTs0, EAX
   }
   nCnt0.LowPart  = nCnt1.LowPart;		
 
   while(((ULONG)nCnt1.LowPart - (ULONG)nCnt0.LowPart) < 300000)
   {
      ::QueryPerformanceCounter(&nCnt1);
      __asm
      {
         _emit 0x0f _asm _emit 0x31 // RDTSC
         MOV nTs1, EAX
      }
   }
   ::SetThreadPriority(hThread, nPriority);

   ULONG nCycles = nTs1 - nTs0;
   ULONG nTicks  = (ULONG)(nCnt1.LowPart - nCnt0.LowPart);
   nTicks *= 10000;
   nTicks /= (nCntFrequency.LowPart / 100);

   return nCycles / nTicks; // MHz
}

O metoda simpla este utilizand functia CallNtPowerInformation.

Exemplu

Code: Select all

#include <windows.h>
#include <Powrprof.h>
#include <iostream>

typedef struct _PROCESSOR_POWER_INFORMATION {
  ULONG  Number;
  ULONG  MaxMhz;
  ULONG  CurrentMhz;
  ULONG  MhzLimit;
  ULONG  MaxIdleState;
  ULONG  CurrentIdleState;
} PROCESSOR_POWER_INFORMATION;

#pragma comment(lib, "Powrprof.lib")

int main()
{
   PROCESSOR_POWER_INFORMATION ppi = {0};
   ::CallNtPowerInformation(ProcessorInformation, NULL, 0, &ppi, sizeof(PROCESSOR_POWER_INFORMATION));

   std::cout << "Current processor frequency: " 
      << ppi.CurrentMhz << " MHz" << std::endl;

   system("pause");
   return 0;
}

Note

1. Exemplul de mai sus functioneaza pe Windows XP. Totusi, un vechi amic a sesizat faptul ca pe versiuni mai noi de Windows, in cazul cand exista mai multe procesoare, functia CallNtPowerInformation da kix cu eroarea STATUS_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL.
   Exemplul urmator corecteaza aceasta greseala:

   Code: Select all

   #include <NTstatus.h>
   #define WIN32_NO_STATUS
   #include <windows.h>
   #include <Powrprof.h>
   #include <iostream>
   
   typedef struct _PROCESSOR_POWER_INFORMATION {
      ULONG  Number;
      ULONG  MaxMhz;
      ULONG  CurrentMhz;
      ULONG  MhzLimit;
      ULONG  MaxIdleState;
      ULONG  CurrentIdleState;
   } PROCESSOR_POWER_INFORMATION, *PPROCESSOR_POWER_INFORMATION;
   
   #pragma comment(lib, "Powrprof.lib")
   
   int main()
   {
      SYSTEM_INFO si = {0};
      ::GetSystemInfo(&si);
      const int size = si.dwNumberOfProcessors * sizeof(PROCESSOR_POWER_INFORMATION);
   
      LPBYTE pBuffer = new BYTE[size]; 
      NTSTATUS status = ::CallNtPowerInformation(ProcessorInformation, NULL, 0, pBuffer, size);
      if(STATUS_SUCCESS == status)
      {
         PPROCESSOR_POWER_INFORMATION ppi = (PPROCESSOR_POWER_INFORMATION)pBuffer;
         for(DWORD nIndex = 0; nIndex < si.dwNumberOfProcessors; nIndex++)
         {
            std::cout << "Processor #" << ppi->Number << " frequency: " 
               << ppi->CurrentMhz << " MHz" << std::endl;
            ppi++;
         }
      }
      else
      {
         std::cout << "CallNtPowerInformation failed. Status: " << status << std::endl;
      }
      delete []pBuffer;
      system("pause");
      return status;
   }

2. In general ma stradui sa testez exemplele inainte de a le posta. Totusi, ca peste tot, nu este exclus sa scape erori/omisiuni/greseli. Cand apar, va rog sa le sesizati in forum.
   Thank you!
