A junior Linux administrator is installing a new application with CPU architecture requirements that have the following specifications:
x64 bit
3.0GHz speed
Minimum quad core
The administrator wants to leverage existing equipment but is unsure whether the requirements of these systems are adequate. The administrator issues the following command cat/proc/cpuinfo. The output of the command is as follows:
Which of the following is the recommended course of action the administrator should take based on this output?
A. Install the application, as the system meets the application requirements
B. Procure new equipment that matches the recommended specifications
C. Recompile the Linux kernel to support the installation.
D. Reconfigure lib modules to support the new application.
that cpu can turbo up to 3ghz, what’s stated in cpuinfo is the baseclock. Therefore A is correct.
i7 @2.1 is base clock and can be run at 3.3 GHZ in turbo mode
I was curious on how does it work, the application requires a CPU with 3.0GHz, the output shows that the current CPU is working at 2.10GHz, yet the answer says that the system meets the requirements?
The answer is B.
