You can read from the /proc/cpuinfo file to gain information about CPUs in the running computer.

As Delan has mentioned /proc/cpuinfo does provide those details.

There is also sysconf for getting the number of logical CPU's.

long numcpus = sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN);
printf("Number of CPU's=%ld\n",numcpus);
