4<p>When you're working with native code, hardware matters. The NDK lets you ensure you're compiling
5for the right architectures and CPUs by giving you a variety of ABIs from which
6to choose.</p>

8<p>This section begins by explaining how to target specific
9<a href="{@docRoot}ndk/guides/abis.html">architectures and CPUs</a>. It then
10provides information you need to know when targeting the
11<a href="{@docRoot}ndk/guides/abis.html">ARM</a>
12family of CPUs and architectures. Next, it provides information about  the other CPUs and
13architectures that it supports: <a href="{@docRoot}ndk/guides/cpu-arm-neon.html">NEON</a>, x86
14(<a href="{@docRoot}ndk/guides/x86.html">32-bit</a> and
15<a href="{@docRoot}ndk/guides/x86-64.html">64-bit</a>), and
16<a href="{@docRoot}ndk/guides/mips.html">MIPS</a>. Finally, it explains how to use the
17<a href="{@docRoot}ndk/guides/cpu-features.html">{@code cpufeatures}</a>
18library, which your app can use to query a given CPU and architecture about the optional
19features they support.</p>
