cpu and bus speed report

Apparently 1st and 2nd gen touch devices have different cpu and bus speeds: 412Mhz cpu with 103Mhz bus and 532Mhz cpu with 133Mhz bus respectively.

During init sio2 gives a bit of a report. Here is some code for cpu and bus speeds that might be of use to someone.

Code:


   
#include <sys/sysctl.h>


   int mib[6] = { 0 };
   size_t length = sizeof( int );
   
   int cpuF = 0;
   int busF = 0;
   
   // Get cpu speed
   mib[0] = CTL_HW;
   mib[1] = HW_CPU_FREQ;
   sysctl( mib, 2, &cpuF, &length, 0,0 );
   
   
   // Get bus speed
   mib[0] = CTL_HW;
   mib[1] = HW_BUS_FREQ;
   sysctl( mib, 2, &busF, &length, 0,0 );
   
   
   printf( "\nCPU speed: %d Mhz\n", cpuF/1000000 );
   printf( "Bus speed: %d Mhz\n", busF/1000000 );




Once again tks for the tip man! Will integrate the code at init time


Cheers,

Then it would be probably nice to have information about available memory, too. I dump this information every five seconds in debug build just to have an idea where the memory goes even when not explicitly hunting for memory leaks.

Code:

   int pagesize;
   mib[ 0 ] = CTL_HW;
   mib[ 1 ] = HW_PAGESIZE;
   size_t length = sizeof(pagesize);
   if( sysctl( mib, 2, &pagesize, &length, NULL, 0 ) < 0 ) {
      // Failure!
      return;
   }
   mach_msg_type_number_t count = HOST_VM_INFO_COUNT;
   vm_statistics_data_t vmstat;
   if( host_statistics( mach_host_self(), HOST_VM_INFO, (host_info_t) &vmstat, &count ) != KERN_SUCCESS ) {
      // Failure!
      return;
   }
   NSLog( @"Free memory: %8d bytes", vmstat.free_count * pagesize );

Best,

For memory leaks, you can use instruments, or sio2_memory, that will detect and report you the leaks as well as where in your code this memory have been initialized and the total memory currently in use...
