+# cpuid
+Package cpuid provides information about the CPU running the current program.
+
+CPU features are detected on startup, and kept for fast access through the life of the application.
+Currently x86 / x64 (AMD64) is supported, and no external C (cgo) code is used, which should make the library very easy to use.
+
+You can access the CPU information by accessing the shared CPU variable of the cpuid library.

+# installing
+
+```go get github.com/klauspost/cpuid```
+
+# example
+
+```Go
+package main
+
+import (
+ "fmt"
+ "github.com/klauspost/cpuid"
+)
+
+func main() {
+ // Print basic CPU information:
+ fmt.Println("Name:", cpuid.CPU.BrandName)
+ fmt.Println("PhysicalCores:", cpuid.CPU.PhysicalCores)
+ fmt.Println("ThreadsPerCore:", cpuid.CPU.ThreadsPerCore)
+ fmt.Println("LogicalCores:", cpuid.CPU.LogicalCores)
+ fmt.Println("Family", cpuid.CPU.Family, "Model:", cpuid.CPU.Model)
+ fmt.Println("Features:", cpuid.CPU.Features)
+ fmt.Println("Cacheline bytes:", cpuid.CPU.CacheLine)
+ fmt.Println("L1 Data Cache:", cpuid.CPU.Cache.L1D, "bytes")
+ fmt.Println("L1 Instruction Cache:", cpuid.CPU.Cache.L1D, "bytes")
+ fmt.Println("L2 Cache:", cpuid.CPU.Cache.L2, "bytes")
+ fmt.Println("L3 Cache:", cpuid.CPU.Cache.L3, "bytes")
+
+ // Test if we have a specific feature:
+ if cpuid.CPU.SSE() {
+ fmt.Println("We have Streaming SIMD Extensions")
+ }
+}
+```
+
+Sample output:
+```
+>go run main.go

+# private package
+
+In the "private" folder you can find an autogenerated version of the library you can include in your own packages.
+
+For this purpose all exports are removed, and functions and constants are lowercased.
+
+This is not a recommended way of using the library, but provided for convenience, if it is difficult for you to use external packages.
