P4 630 on Linux Redhat 9

[keymanpang]

I'm Keyman, my company purchased a new P4 630 cpu and install Redhat 9,

however, we found that on /proc/cpuinfo, Cache show is zero, Why isn't 2M Cache?

I would like to know that CPU will still run 2M Cache or not, please advice, thanks.

Not sure what this has to do with Fortran, but the version of linux you install won't affect the cache. I believe your model has 1MB L2 cache. Since support for Red Hat 9 was terminated quite a while before the CPU became available, you could expect a few additional minor annoyances like this. For most people, the big annoyance would be the lack of 64-bit support in RH9. Only 32-bit compilers will work. The base version of RH9 doesn't support static linking of threaded applications, including OpenMP.

Tim18,

thanks you for your prompt reply, we can see on bios should be 2M Cache, and we will try to use new kernel (2.6) to check it, thank you again.
