To determine which CPU a Silicon Graphics system uses, type:

% uname -m

at a shell prompt. This command reports the CPU type. For details on this command, see the uname(1) man page.

For a more detailed listing of a Silicon Graphics system's hardware configuration, type:

% hinv

at a shell prompt. See the hinv(1M) man page.
