Re: MATMATR 01DC

Option hex 01DC of MATMATR (materialize machine attributes) returns the
installed processor count for the physical machine.  A 10 byte
materialization template is needed.  The first 4 bytes is a signed binary
number that specifies the size of the template (an input value that should
be set to 10).  At offset 8, the instruction will return the installed
processor count in a UBIN(2).

Here is a sample C program that uses this option:

#include <mih/matmatr.h>
#include <stdio.h>

static const short attr = _MMTR_PROCESSOR_COUNT;

int main( void )
{
  _MMTR_Template_T template;

  template.Options.Template_Size = sizeof(_MMTR_Template_T);
  _MATMATR1( &template, &attr );
  printf( "Number of CPUs = %d\n",
          (int)template.Options.Data.InstProcCount.numProcessors );
  return 0;
}

Fellow Programmers:

I'm looking for a way to get the number of CPUs on a
system (to close a big
loophole in our customer license checking routines),
and I've been directed to
the MATMATR instruction (which I haven't yet had
to use in over six years of MI
programming!), function 01DC (which naturally
isn't documented in my V2R3 MI
manual!).

Could somebody please give me a
hand with this function? It could be a while
before I can convince the boss
to spring for a more current MI manual.
