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.

Variables

Functions

func Detect 

func Detect()

Detect will re-detect current CPU info. This will replace the content of the exported CPU variable.

Unless you expect the CPU to change while you are running your program you should not need to call this function. If you call this, you must ensure that no other goroutine is accessing the exported CPU variable.
