cpuid executes the CPUID instruction on x86-family CPUs and decodes the results into English descriptions. It knows about Intel, AMD, and Cyrix CPUs, and is fairly complete.

The Linux SMBus BIOS driver is an experimental device driver for Linux that implements SMBus BIOS support in the kernel. It was written primarily for utility programs to query information and the status of a Smart Battery. This driver is distributed in the form of a kernel patch.

Powertweak-Linux is a tool to tune your system to its optimal performance settings. It started life as the replacement for the now obsolete kernel option 'tune PCI bridges', and has been extended to provide more features and support more chipsets. It can also tune network/filesystem performance using /proc/sys entries, disk elevator settings, and x86 CPU registers (needs 2.2.18 or 2.4.0test kernel), CDROM speeds, hdparm type features, and Sony VAIO backlight. It has both a GTK GUI and a text-based lister.

Unlike other `cpuinfo' tools which just parse /proc/cpuinfo, x86info probes the CPU registers to find out a lot more information. It can discover the contents of model-specific registers, discover CPU silicon revisions, and lots more.

cbm4linux is a Linux/i386 kernel driver and development library to control serial CBM devices, such as the Commodore 1541 disk drive, connected to the PC's parallel port via a XM1541 or XA1541 cable. Command line utilities for fast disk/file copy are included.

toshiba_hci works by using the Intel SMM interface and using it to send appropriate values to the Toshiba HCI. This tool re- implements several of the functions of the 'Toshiba laptops extras' and ACPI Linux kernel patches, as well as adding extra functionality, but all in a user-space program that does not require any kernel patching. It can do things like alter the LCD brightness, turn the system fan on and off, and more.

cpuburn is is a set of programs that load x86 CPUs as heavily as possible for the purposes of system testing. FPU and ALU instructions are coded in an endless loop in an attempt to maximize heat production from the CPU, putting stress on the CPU itself, the cooling system, the motherboard (especially voltage regulators), and power supply. The tests may damage undercooled, overclocked, or otherwise weak systems and cause data loss or permanent damage to electronic components.

Push Puppet Toy is a computer-controlled puppet that stands to attention when a friend joins an IRC channel or comes online on IM, and collapses when he leaves. The concept is very similar to the Availabot (http://availabot.com/), but works under Linux. Schematics, firmware for the puppet, and plugins for Gaim and XChat to control the puppet are provided.

cpuinfo consists of an API/library used by programs to get information about the underlying CPU. Such information includes CPU vendor, model name, cache hierarchy, and supported features (e.g. CMP, SMT, and SIMD). cpuinfo is also a standalone program to demonstrate the use of this API.
