libcpuid (library for x86 CPU detection)

libcpuid is a small C library for x86 CPU detection and feature extraction. 
Using it, you can:

* get the processor vendor, model, brand string, code name
* get information about CPU features such as: number of cores or logical
  CPUs, cache sizes, CPU clock
* check if the processor implements a specific instruction set such as SSE2
  or 3DNow!
* execute the CPUID and RDTSC instructions (portably!)
* and have this all in your commercial application, without getting into
  trouble.

It works on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X, both 32-bit and 64-bit
flavours. Compiler support includes GCC and Microsoft Visual C++ (and
compatible, e.g. Intel C++ compiler).
