libcpuid

A small C library for x86 (and x86_64) CPU detection and feature extraction

dev-libs/libcpuid is a small C library for x86 (and x86_64) CPU detection and feature extraction. Using it, you can: - get the processor vendor, model, code name, etc. - get information about CPU features such as: number of cores or logical CPUs, cache sizes, CPU clock, etc. - check if the processor implements a specific instruction set such as the SSE2, 3DNow!, etc. - execute the CPUID and RDTSC instructions. - have this all in your commercial application, without getting into trouble.
