#### Processor core, SMT thread, cache hierarchy, NUMA & ISA extension inspector

CPU Topology Inspector is a desktop processor topology mapper, cache-sharing
visualizer, instruction set extension matrix, and memory hierarchy micro-probe
for Linux workstations and servers. A lightweight Linux alternative to
Sysinternals Coreinfo, it reads live processor, cache, NUMA, frequency, and
ISA metadata directly from the Linux kernel (/proc/cpuinfo and /sys/devices/system)
with zero synthetic or placeholder data.

Key Features:

* Package, Core, SMT & Cache Sharing Map: Reads live physical package, die,
  core, and logical thread sibling mappings alongside L1d, L1i, L2, and L3
  cache ways, line sizes, set counts, shared CPU masks, and NUMA node memory
  domains, rendering a visual processor topology diagram.
* ISA Instruction Set & Hardware Mitigation Matrix: Audits real CPU feature
  flags across SIMD/Vector (SSE through AVX2, AVX-512, FMA, NEON/SVE),
  cryptographic offload (AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, SHA-NI, RDRAND, RDSEED),
  virtualization (VMX, SVM, Hypervisor), and bit-manipulation extensions
  alongside kernel hardware mitigation states with instant search filtering.
* Cache Latency Micro-Benchmark & Export: Runs a pure-Python pointer-chasing
  access latency and memory-stride bandwidth probe across L1 (16 KB),
  L2 (256 KB), L3 (4 MB), and DRAM (32 MB) working sets and exports complete
  JSON and CSV topology reports.

## Enable snaps on elementary OS and install CPU Topology Inspector

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snap can be installed on elementary OS from the command line. Open *Terminal* from the Applications launcher and type the following:

```
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.

### Install CPU Topology Inspector

To install CPU Topology Inspector, simply use the following command:

```
sudo snap install cpu-topology-inspector
```
