os.cpu_count() method in Python is used to get the number of CPUs in the system. This method returns None if number of CPUs in the system is undetermined.
Syntax: os.cpu_count()
Parameter: No parameter is required.
Return Type: This method returns an integer value which denotes the number of CPUs in the system. None is returned if the number of CPUs is undetermined.
Code: Use of os.cpu_count() method to get the number of CPUs in the system
# Python program to explain os.cpu_count() method # importing os module import os # Get the number of CPUs # in the system using # os.cpu_count() method cpuCount = os.cpu_count() # Print the number of # CPUs in the system print("Number of CPUs in the system:", cpuCount) |
Output:
Number of CPUs in the system: 4
