Find Used and Free RAM Info

How much memory is really available on your Linux box? Don't use /proc/meminfoto find out, use free -m instead. You may have more memory available than you thought.
  • Free -h it will shows the human readable format
  • Free -m it will shows the MB format
Here's an example. /proc/meminfo says about 330MB is free:
free -m gives the following:
  ~ $free -m
                 total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
    Mem:          1024        691        332          0         86        288
    -/+ buffers/cache:        316        708
    Swap:         2047         68       1979
You'll see the "buffers" and "cached" columns, which tell you about the amount of memory that the kernel is using for filesystem buffers, etc.
This sort of cached data will be freed by the kernel when an application tries to allocate more than what is "free", which is why the "-/+ buffers/cache" line is really the important line to pay attention to when you're checking out the free memory on a system.
So in this example, 708MB is how much memory is technically available for allocation should an application need it. The "buffers" (86MB) and "cached" (288MB) will be released by the kernal if they are needed.

For getting CPU Information :
To get a complete picture you need to look at the number of threads per core, cores per socket and sockets. If you multiply these numbers you will get the number of CPUs on your system.
    CPUs = Threads per core X cores per socket X sockets
