Binary packages built by this source

isa-support: CPU feature checking - common back-end

 The packages in the isa-support family probe for microprocessor Instruction
 Set Architecture features such as SSE3. By refusing to install on machines
 lacking a required feature, they allow ISA requirements to be handled in
 terms of package dependencies.
 .
 This package provides the feature-probing infrastructure. To assert a CPU
 requirement, other packages can pre-depend on one of the individual
 feature-specific packages:
 .
 sse2-support, sse3-support, sse4.2-support, altivec-support, neon-support,
 armv6-support, armv7-support, armv8-support, vfp-support, vfpv2-support,
 vfpv3-support

neon-support: CPU feature checking - require neon

 The packages in the isa-support family probe for microprocessor Instruction
 Set Architecture features such as SSE3. By refusing to install on machines
 lacking a required feature, they allow ISA requirements to be handled in
 terms of package dependencies.
 .
 This is a mostly dummy package which checks for neon and refuses to install
 on unsupported hardware.

 .
 Neon, also known as MPE (Media Processing Engine) or Advanced SIMD, is a
 combined 64- and 128-bit SIMD instruction set that provides standardised
 acceleration for media and signal processing applications. It is available
 on the vast majority of armhf devices but not guaranteed before the 64-bit
 capable ARMv8.

sse3-support: CPU feature checking - require SSE3

 The packages in the isa-support family probe for microprocessor Instruction
 Set Architecture features such as SSE3. By refusing to install on machines
 lacking a required feature, they allow ISA requirements to be handled in
 terms of package dependencies.
 .
 This is a mostly dummy package which checks for SSE3 and refuses to install
 on unsupported hardware.
 .
 Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE) is a single instruction, multiple data
 (SIMD) instruction set extension.
 .
 SSE3, also called PNI (Prescott New Instructions), is an incremental upgrade
 to SSE2, adding a handful of new operations useful for processing media. It
 is available on almost any 64-bit-capable processor except for some early
 AMD models (Sledgehammer and Clawhammer), but is not available on most
 32-bit-only hardware.

sse4.2-support: CPU feature checking - require SSE4.2

 The packages in the isa-support family probe for microprocessor Instruction
 Set Architecture features such as SSE3. By refusing to install on machines
 lacking a required feature, they allow ISA requirements to be handled in
 terms of package dependencies.
 .
 This is a mostly dummy package which checks for SSE4.2 and refuses to install
 on unsupported hardware.
 .
 SSE4.2 added string and text processing instructions that perform character
 searches and comparison on two operands of 16 bytes at a time. It is
 available on Intel processors since Nehalem (circa 2008), but notably not
 on anything AMD until the Bulldozer (15h, in 2011) and Jaguar (16h, in
 2013) families.
