CPU-X is a system profiling and monitoring application (similar to [CPU-Z for Windows](https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html)), but CPU-X is a Free and Open Source software designed for GNU/Linux and FreeBSD. This software is written in C++ and built with [CMake](https://www.cmake.org/) tool. It can be used in graphical mode by using GTK or in text-based mode by using NCurses. A dump mode is present from command line. > [!IMPORTANT] > There are no milestones for this project, read [this announcement](https://github.com/TheTumultuousUnicornOfDarkness/CPU-X/wiki/future-of-project) for more details. *** # Table of contents -

[x86](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86): - 32-bit CPUs (IA-32, also known as i386, i486, i586 and i686) - 64-bit CPUs (x86_64, also known as x64, AMD64, and Intel 64) - [ARM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_architecture_family) (since v5.1.0): - 32-bit CPUs (ARM32, also known as AArch32) - 64-bit CPUs (ARM64, also known as AArch64) > [!NOTE] > Other CPU architectures are not supported by CPU-X. ### Build-only dependencies These dependencies are needed to **build** CPU-X: * A C++ compiler ([GCC](https://gcc.gnu.org/) or [Clang](https://clang.llvm.org/)) * [CMake](https://www.cmake.org/) (version 3.12 or newer is needed) * [Pkg-Config](https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/pkg-config/) / [Pkgconf](https://github.com/pkgconf/pkgconf) * [NASM](https://www.nasm.us/) (for x86 CPUs only) ### Test dependencies These dependencies are optional to **test** CPU-X: * [Grep](https://www.gnu.org/software/grep/) * [GNU Awk¹](https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/) * [Mawk¹](https://invisible-island.net/mawk/) * [One true awk¹](https://github.com/onetrueawk/awk) **¹**At least on Awk is required, e.g. the default Awk on the system. ### Build and run dependencies These dependencies are needed to **build²** and **run** CPU-X: * [Gtkmm3](https://www.gtkmm.org/en/index.html) (versions 3.12 to 3.24 are supported) * [NCurses](https://www.gnu.org/software/ncurses/) * [Libcpuid](http://libcpuid.sourceforge.net/) (version 0.8.0 or newer is needed) * [Pciutils](https://mj.ucw.cz/sw/pciutils/) * [EGL](https://www.khronos.org/egl/) (version 1.5 or newer is needed), with [OpenGL](https://www.opengl.org/) * [Vulkan](https://www.vulkan.org/) * [OpenCL](https://www.khronos.org/opencl/) (version 1.2 or newer is needed) * [Procps-ng](https://sourceforge.net/projects/procps-ng/) (Linux) / [Libstatgrab](https://www.i-scream.org/libstatgrab/) (*BSD) **²**On some GNU/Linux distributions, the appropriate **-dev** or **-devel** package is needed. ## Download and install ### From repositories In alphabetical order: -

If you start the daemon, it will allow CPU-X to access some special devices, which provides more information and avoid empty labels. The CPU-X daemon requires root privileges, and uses Polkit for privileges escalation. You can use `cpu-x` from command line, some options are available, like: - `--gtk`: to start the graphical user interface (default) - `--ncurses`: to start the text-based user interface - `--dump`: to get a summary of data Use `--help` to see all arguments. ## Wiki More informations are available on Wiki, like screenshots, troubleshooting and tips. You can access the Wiki by using [this link](https://github.com/TheTumultuousUnicornOfDarkness/CPU-X/wiki). ## Bugs/Improvements/Request features Please [open a new issue](https://github.com/TheTumultuousUnicornOfDarkness/CPU-X/issues/new/choose) and fill the appropriate template.
