Bug description

We're facing the problem that the number of threads per core for a Intel® Core™ i7-13700F Prozessor seems to be a floating point number. In https://www.intel.de/content/www/de/de/products/sku/230491/intel-core-i713700f-processor-30m-cache-up-to-5-20-ghz/specifications.html the processor has 16 cores and 24 threads, so that the 1.5 is somehow correct. But GLPI is refusing the number of threads.

What is the used agent version?

[AndiMb]

We used the GLPI Agent Version 1.4.

I cannot find any "floating" value in some existing inventory files from different agents verions. @g-bougard is that something intended or is it a bug?

Hi @AndiMb

can you share the output of the following command from an administrative or root console ?

glpi-inventory --partial cpu

If you have to run it from a windows computer, run it from the installation folder.

And/or can you share the output of dmidecode (at least the part related to CPUs) ?

To me, this is weird to have a floating point there, so we probably have to handle specific case their. After a quick read of the processor spec, I still don't understand what we have to set as thread value...

[g-bougard]

Oh, on the specs, we can read:

CPU Specifications
Total Cores                16
# of Performance-cores     8
# of Efficient-cores       8
Total Threads              24 

And as note on "Total Threads":

Total Threads

Where applicable, Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology is only available on Performance-cores.

So the thread number in the inventory should be 2 for the performance-cores... but 1 for the Efficient-ones. I think we should update the json spec to specify this fields only apply to "Performance-core" in some intel cases. And then we need to fix the agent to support this case.

Then I'll migrate this issue to GLPI-Agent project.

[g-bougard]

Indeed, I don't have that right (issue migration from GLPI project) anymore. @trasher can you migrate it to glpi-agent project ? Please.

Hi @AndiMb
if you have a windows computer using this processor, can you also share the output of the follwoing command ?

wmic path Win32_Processor get /format:list
