Pentium 1.5 build: 9470 released: 2008-09-23 Pentium JNI class. Copyright: (c) 2012 Canadian Mind Products. Java application. Download from: http://mindprod.com/products1.html#PENTIUM ===> Free <=== Full source included. You may even include the source code, modified or unmodified in free/commercial open source/proprietary programs that you write and distribute. May be used freely for any purpose but military. For more details on this restriction, see http://mindprod.com/contact/nonmil.html If you include any Canadian Mind Products code in your own applications, your app too must be labeled non-military use only. All Java jars and source code are included. ---- Prerequisites: This program runs under any OS, (e.g. Win2K/XP/Vista/W7x86/W7-64/OSX/Linux/Solaris/AIX...) so long as you have <><> Java version 1.1 <><> or later installed (32-bit or 64-bit Java). See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/installingjava.html for details. ---- Installing on a PC: Download source and compiled class files to run on your own machine as an application. First install a recent Java JDK or JVM. See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/installingjava.html. To install, extract the zip download with WinZip (or similar unzip utility) into any directory you please, often J:\ -- ticking off the "use folder names" option. To run as an application,type: java -ea -jar J:\com\mindprod\pentium\pentium.jar {put any parms here} adjusting as necessary to account for where the jar file is. ---- Installing on a MacIntosh: Use Safari to download source and compiled class files to run on your own machine as an application. Safari will automatically unpack the zip into ~/Downloads (version 10.5) [or on the Desktop (version 10.4 and earlier)]. First install a recent Java JDK or JVM. See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/installingjava.html. You may optionally move the download tree to a permanent home. I don't have a MacIntosh, just a PC, so I can't test my Java programs for Mac compatibility. In theory they should work without problems, but in practice that does not always happen. If you have problems please, let me know, preferably with screenshots and complete verbatim error messages. To run as an application, without parameters, just double click the jar file. To run as an application with parameters, in bash shell type: open Terminal.app cd ~/Desktop java -ea -jar com/mindprod/pentium/pentium.jar {put any parms here} adjusting as necessary to account for where the jar file is. ---- Rebuilding: The zip already contains the necessary class and jar files, so unless you modify the program, there is no need to recompile the source or rebuild the jar. Configure.java basedir="E:/" in rebuild.xml to the drive where your files are. Use ANT and rebuild.xml, not build.xml, to recompile and recreate the jar. ---- Use: Pentium works on Windows and Intel Pentium class and AMD CPUs to determine the CPUID information such as the vendor, brand/model, step, model, instruction set family, cpu serial number, and the RDTSC Time stamp register for high resolution timing measured in CPU cycles since the last boot. It is designed to be incorporated in your own Java progams. Pentium class CPUs have a 64 bit serial number that than be enabled on disabled. Xeon class CPUs have a 96 bit serial number. AMD CPUs do not have a serial number. You can also use it as a standalone utility with: java.exe -jar pentium.jar CONFIGURING THE DLL The nativepentium.dll must be on the path, or more precisely on the java.library.path, e.g. in the current directory. Put the raw dll, not the jar, in one of the path directories. To discover the path directories, type PATH at the command line. C++ RUNTIME This program requires modules from the Microsoft C++ Express 9 run time library. Normally they should be automatically statically included. However, if someone recompiled the JNI C++ code without the /MT option, this code will not work unless the vcredist_x86.exe Microsoft C++ Express 9 run time library is preinstalled. You can download it from Microsoft or CMP. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9B2DA534-3E03-4391-8A4D-074B9F2BC1BF&displaylang=en or http://mindprod.com/zips/vcredist_x86.exe The symptom of this problem is an UnsatisfiedLinkError or a side-by-side configuration error. ENABLING SERIAL NUMBER The serial number can be enabled or disabled with an Intel utility. If it is disabled, the Pentium utility will report the serial number as 0. There are a number of different utilities for enabling/disabling the serial number available from Intel: http://www.intel.com/support/processors/pentiumiii/sb/CS-007582.htm : Serial Number Enable/Disable http://www.intel.com/support/processors/sb/CS-001661.htm : Intel's CPUID, Intel chips only. You may also be able to enable/disable the serial number in the BIOS setup. for technical info see: http://www.intel.com/assets/pdf/appnote/241618.pdf ---- Version History: 1.1 2005-07-30 ANT build, consistent naming. 1.2 2006-03-06 reformat with IntelliJ, add Javadoc. 1.3 2007-06-03 add pad and icon 1.4 2008-09-18 add cpuSerNo64 cpuSerNo96 display methods for serial number. 1.5 2008-09-23 convert to jDK 1.5, deal with C++ missing DLLs. -30-
