# 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/i386) and ARM (ARM64) 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 -u github.com/klauspost/cpuid/v2` using modules.
|
|
|
|
Drop `v2` for others.
|
|
|
|
## example
|
|
|
|
```Go
|
|
package main
|
|
|
|
import (
|
|
"fmt"
|
|
"strings"
|
|
|
|
. "github.com/klauspost/cpuid/v2"
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
func main() {
|
|
// Print basic CPU information:
|
|
fmt.Println("Name:", CPU.BrandName)
|
|
fmt.Println("PhysicalCores:", CPU.PhysicalCores)
|
|
fmt.Println("ThreadsPerCore:", CPU.ThreadsPerCore)
|
|
fmt.Println("LogicalCores:", CPU.LogicalCores)
|
|
fmt.Println("Family", CPU.Family, "Model:", CPU.Model, "Vendor ID:", CPU.VendorID)
|
|
fmt.Println("Features:", fmt.Sprintf(strings.Join(CPU.FeatureSet(), ",")))
|
|
fmt.Println("Cacheline bytes:", CPU.CacheLine)
|
|
fmt.Println("L1 Data Cache:", CPU.Cache.L1D, "bytes")
|
|
fmt.Println("L1 Instruction Cache:", CPU.Cache.L1D, "bytes")
|
|
fmt.Println("L2 Cache:", CPU.Cache.L2, "bytes")
|
|
fmt.Println("L3 Cache:", CPU.Cache.L3, "bytes")
|
|
fmt.Println("Frequency", CPU.Hz, "hz")
|
|
|
|
// Test if we have these specific features:
|
|
if CPU.Supports(SSE, SSE2) {
|
|
fmt.Println("We have Streaming SIMD 2 Extensions")
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|

# usage
|
|
|
|
The `cpuid.CPU` provides access to CPU features. Use `cpuid.CPU.Supports()` to check for CPU features.
|
|
A faster `cpuid.CPU.Has()` is provided which will usually be inlined by the gc compiler.
|
|
|
|
Note that for some cpu/os combinations some features will not be detected.
|
|
`amd64` has rather good support and should work reliably on all platforms.
|
|
|
|
Note that hypervisors may not pass through all CPU features.
|
|
|
|
## arm64 feature detection
|
|
|
|
Not all operating systems provide ARM features directly
|
|
and there is no safe way to do so for the rest.
|
|
|
|
Currently `arm64/linux` and `arm64/freebsd` should be quite reliable.
|
|
`arm64/darwin` adds features expected from the M1 processor, but a lot remains undetected.
|
|
|
|
A `DetectARM()` can be used if you are able to control your deployment,
|
|
it will detect CPU features, but may crash if the OS doesn't intercept the calls.
|
|
A `-cpu.arm` flag for detecting unsafe ARM features can be added. See below.
|
|
|
|
Note that currently only features are detected on ARM,
|
|
no additional information is currently available.
|
|
|
|
## flags
|
|
|
|
It is possible to add flags that affects cpu detection.
|
|
|
|
For this the `Flags()` command is provided.
|
|
|
|
This must be called *before* `flag.Parse()` AND after the flags have been parsed `Detect()` must be called.
|
|
|
|
This means that any detection used in `init()` functions will not contain these flags.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
```Go
|
|
package main
|
|
|
|
import (
|
|
"flag"
|
|
"fmt"
|
|
"strings"
|
|
|
|
"github.com/klauspost/cpuid/v2"
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
func main() {
|
|
cpuid.Flags()
|
|
flag.Parse()
|
|
cpuid.Detect()
|
|
|
|
// Test if we have these specific features:
|
|
if cpuid.CPU.Supports(cpuid.SSE, cpuid.SSE2) {
|
|
fmt.Println("We have Streaming SIMD 2 Extensions")
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
