CPU-information

An application to print information about the installed CPU using the CPUID assembly instruction. It compiles and runs on Linux x86-64 arch.

Getting Started

Needs NASM assembler and a C compiler (gcc).

Prerequisites

NASM assembler can be installed on most distributions using the corresponding package manager. On Ubuntu:

sudo apt install nasm

Gcc compiler can also be easily installed with:

sudo apt install gcc

Though I recommend installing the build-essential instead to get other utilities like g++ and make.

Compilation

Compile by running:

make

Running

Run the CPU-info program to see the gathered information.
