	# of logical processors is the number of processing units. Note  This function returns the total number of logical processors, which might be different from the number currently available to LabVIEW. For example, this function includes disabled processors in # of logical processors.
	# of packages is the number of packages, or chips. For example, a single hyperthreaded processor can have two or more logical processors, and a machine with two quad-core processors has eight logical processors.
	# of cores per package is the number of cores each package contains.
	# of logical processors per core is the number of processing units each core contains.

CPU Information Details

You can use the following properties to programmatically obtain processor characteristics from a LabVIEW application running on a remote computer or target about the system on which the application runs.

• Application:Target:Number of Cores per Package
• Application:Target:Number of Logical Processors
• Application:Target:Number of Logical Processors per Core
• Application:Target:Number of Packages

National Instruments recommends that you use the CPU Information function rather than these properties to return information from the local computer.
