Pulse — a port of the BeOS / Haiku CPU monitor to Linux

Works on non-x86 architectures (even ones that don’t support disabling CPUs):

Works on WSL2:

This is an attempt to port the pulse utility from BeOS / Haiku to systems using the Linux kernel.

It’s written in C, and GTK+2, which should be the only things it requires to compile. It’s my exercise to get more familiar with C and writing larger projects in it.

Features

  • Displays usage of each processor separately
  • Displays disabled processors correctly
  • Allows to disable and enable processors on the fly (only when running as root)

Building

  1. ensure a C compiler and GTK+2 headers are installed (pango and cairo should be included if it’s a new enough version of GTK+2)
  2. clone this repository
  3. run make

This will generate a binary named pulse.
