Function Documentation

◆ get_cpu_load()

double Utilities::System::get_cpu_load ( )

Return the CPU load as returned by "uptime". Note that the interpretation of this number depends on the actual number of processors in the machine. This is presently only implemented on Linux, using the /proc/loadavg pseudo-file, on other systems we simply return zero.

◆ get_memory_stats()

void Utilities::System::get_memory_stats ( MemoryStats & stats )

Fills the stats structure with information about the memory consumption of this process. This is only implemented on Linux.

Definition at line 613 of file utilities.cc.

◆ get_hostname()

std::string Utilities::System::get_hostname ( )

Return the name of the host this process runs on.

Definition at line 646 of file utilities.cc.

◆ get_time()

std::string Utilities::System::get_time ( )

Return the present time as HH:MM:SS.

Definition at line 660 of file utilities.cc.

◆ get_date()

std::string Utilities::System::get_date ( )

Return the present date as YYYY/MM/DD. MM and DD may be either one or two digits.

Definition at line 675 of file utilities.cc.

◆ posix_memalign()

void Utilities::System::posix_memalign	(	void **	memptr,
		size_t	alignment,
		size_t	size
	)

Call the system function posix_memalign, or a replacement function if not available, to allocate memory with a certain minimal alignment. The first argument will then return a pointer to this memory block that can be released later on through a standard free call.

Parameters

memptr	The address of a pointer variable that will after this call point to the allocated memory.
alignment	The minimal alignment of the memory block, in bytes.
size	The size of the memory block to be allocated, in bytes.

Note: This function checks internally for error codes, rather than leaving this task to the calling site.

◆ job_supports_mpi()

bool Utilities::System::job_supports_mpi ( )

Deprecated:: Use Utilities::MPI::job_supports_mpi() instead.

Definition at line 708 of file utilities.cc.
