ARM64 contains the supported CPU features of the current ARMv8(aarch64) platform. If the current platform is not arm64 then all feature flags are false.

var PPC64 struct {
	HasDARN  bool // Hardware random number generator (requires kernel enablement)
	HasSCV   bool // Syscall vectored (requires kernel enablement)
	IsPOWER8 bool // ISA v2.07 (POWER8)
	IsPOWER9 bool // ISA v3.00 (POWER9)
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

PPC64 contains the supported CPU features of the current ppc64/ppc64le platforms. If the current platform is not ppc64/ppc64le then all feature flags are false.

For ppc64/ppc64le, it is safe to check only for ISA level starting on ISA v3.00, since there are no optional categories. There are some exceptions that also require kernel support to work (DARN, SCV), so there are feature bits for those as well. The minimum processor requirement is POWER8 (ISA 2.07). The struct is padded to avoid false sharing.

var X86 struct {
	HasAES       bool // AES hardware implementation (AES NI)
	HasADX       bool // Multi-precision add-carry instruction extensions
	HasAVX       bool // Advanced vector extension
	HasAVX2      bool // Advanced vector extension 2
	HasBMI1      bool // Bit manipulation instruction set 1
	HasBMI2      bool // Bit manipulation instruction set 2
	HasERMS      bool // Enhanced REP for MOVSB and STOSB
	HasFMA       bool // Fused-multiply-add instructions
	HasOSXSAVE   bool // OS supports XSAVE/XRESTOR for saving/restoring XMM registers.
	HasPCLMULQDQ bool // PCLMULQDQ instruction - most often used for AES-GCM
	HasPOPCNT    bool // Hamming weight instruction POPCNT.
	HasRDRAND    bool // RDRAND instruction (on-chip random number generator)
	HasRDSEED    bool // RDSEED instruction (on-chip random number generator)
	HasSSE2      bool // Streaming SIMD extension 2 (always available on amd64)
	HasSSE3      bool // Streaming SIMD extension 3
	HasSSSE3     bool // Supplemental streaming SIMD extension 3
	HasSSE41     bool // Streaming SIMD extension 4 and 4.1
	HasSSE42     bool // Streaming SIMD extension 4 and 4.2
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

X86 contains the supported CPU features of the current X86/AMD64 platform. If the current platform is not X86/AMD64 then all feature flags are false.

X86 is padded to avoid false sharing. Further the HasAVX and HasAVX2 are only set if the OS supports XMM and YMM registers in addition to the CPUID feature bit being set.

Types

type CacheLinePad

type CacheLinePad struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

CacheLinePad is used to pad structs to avoid false sharing.
