## CPU

CPUID to arch: <https://github.com/mer-tools/oprofile/blob/master/libop/op\\_hw\\_specific.h#L119\\>
CPU flags meaning: <http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/43539/what-do-the-flags-in-proc-cpuinfo-mean>

## Endianness

<https://www.cs.umd.edu/class/sum2003/cmsc311/Notes/Data/endian.html\\>
In big endian, you store the most significant byte(MSB) in the smallest address.\
In little endian, you store the least significant byte(LSB) in the smallest address
