1page.title=CPUs and Architectures 2@jd:body 3 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> 7 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>
