Description-en: C library for x86/x86_64 CPU detection and feature extraction (tool)
libcpuid is a small C library for x86 CPU detection and feature
extraction. Using it, you can:
.
- get the processor vendor, model, brand string, code name,
- get information about CPU features such as: number of cores or logical
CPUs, cache sizes, CPU clock,
- check if the processor implements a specific instruction set such as
the SSE2, 3DNow!,
- execute the CPUID and RDTSC instructions (portably!)
.
This package ships the cpuidtool.
