A CPUID library! [Archive] - XtremeSystems Forums

Hi people,

Some of you might know that the detection engine behind the wonderful CPU-z program is now available as a commercial SDK for use in 3rd party applications.

Because of the nature of the program, the author has put a nice price tag of $999 on the SDK (CPUID Developers Corner)

Can someone find me a similar SDK which is available for much less or (even better) open source? I am kinda renovating a application I had written some time back and want to integrate system component and oc detection features.

Regards,
Karan

PS: A counter strike source account to anyone who helps me find this !

Hey people,

The benchmark itself is completely open source.... so care to help a fellow member out?

Regards.

Thanks for the link mate. It will definitely help if i decide to expand and detect more hardware. I guess I will just write the library to do some basic CPU detection.

what are the thing you would like to read out from the cpu?

Basically, I wanted to use the library in this benchmark tool: http://www.superprime.org/

I wanted to show the CPU information, etc.

Since I could not find any good ones, I have put together my own.

If people are interested I can put the code together in a library.

processor info (vendor, family, etc) is done easily with cpuid instruction

Yes.... but also wanted to find out other configuration related stuff like RAM Mhz, timings, etc. Thats not so easy to get... :(

Found another nice site (was looking for a cpuid library myself for a while) Includes source code and a compiled .dll library as well:

If you're still looking you could take a look at geekinfo (http://code.google.com/p/geekinfo/). It's an open source cross-platform hardware/software information library.

Here´s a simple, maybe sloppish way to do the job, open the Window´s system properties window where it shows you all the PC info. Using FindWindow or another function retrieve the text of the various windows. (See screenshot).

You can also use dxdiag to display hardware (video for example) but by me it failed to show the real CPU speed.

You can use:
system("rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL sysdm.cpl,System");
To open the specified window.

Then just enum the child windows.
