How to determine which logical cores share the same physical core?


Based on comments to your question (thanks to all, especially to @RLH) I made this class for you:

/// <summary>/// Provides CPU information/// </summary>public static class Processor{    private static IHardwareCore[] cores;    private static int[] logicalCores;    /// <summary>    /// Hardware core    /// </summary>    public interface IHardwareCore     {        /// <summary>        /// Logical core IDs        /// </summary>        int[] LogicalCores { get; }    }    /// <summary>    /// Hardware cores    /// </summary>    public static IHardwareCore[] HardwareCores    {        get        {            return cores ?? (cores = GetLogicalProcessorInformation()                .Where(x => x.Relationship == LOGICAL_PROCESSOR_RELATIONSHIP.RelationProcessorCore)                .Select(x => new HardwareCore((UInt64)x.ProcessorMask))                .ToArray<IHardwareCore>());        }    }    /// <summary>    /// All logical core IDs    /// </summary>    public static int[] LogicalCores    {        get        {            return logicalCores ??

Usage example:

for (var i = 0; i < Processor.HardwareCores.Length; ++i){    Console.WriteLine("Hardware Core {0} has logical cores {1}", i,        string.Join(", ", Processor.HardwareCores[i].LogicalCores));}Console.WriteLine("All logical cores: " + string.Join(", ", Processor.LogicalCores));Console.WriteLine("Current Logical Core is " + Processor.CurrentLogicalCore);

Example outputs for Intel Core i5:

Hardware Core 0 has logical cores 0, 1Hardware Core 1 has logical cores 2, 3All logical cores: 0, 1, 2, 3Current Logical Core is 2
