how do i find number of cpus in one machine?

one of our school server claimed that it has more than 13cpus
i wonder how i check the # of cpus...

any help would be greatly appreciated..

i think more than 13processors are in parallel to work together..
(one processor on each computer)

thank you

If its running Linux: cat /proc/cpuinfo

Its probably running a proprietary Unix though, but there's a way to find out for each one. What's it using?

try "top"... it will display usage information for each processor. Multiple processors are not uncommon on large-scale UNIX servers. We have several here at work that have 16 processors per box.
