Intel Offers Developer Kit For Future Atom Processor Netbook Apps
Just wanted to let you know that Intel's published the beta SDK for the Intel Atom Developer Program. That means you can now submit your Windows or Moblin apps for netbooks so you're ready to make money when the OEM stores go live next year. There are some big prizes (holiday, car) on offer for the best early apps too. The SDK is available now at
http://appdeveloper.intel.com and there's more information on the Intel Atom Developer Program there too. Feel free to ping me a message if you've got any questions and I'll do my best to help.

CPUID(4) Linux Programmer's Manual CPUID(4)
NAME
cpuid - x86 CPUID access device
DESCRIPTION
CPUID provides an interface for querying information about the x86 CPU.
This device is accessed by lseek(2) or pread(2) to the appropriate CPUID level and reading in chunks of 16 bytes. A larger read size means
multiple reads of consecutive levels.
The lower 32 bits of the file position is used as the incoming %eax, and the upper 32 bits of the file position as the incoming %ecx, the
latter intended for "counting" eax levels like eax=4.
This driver uses /dev/cpu/CPUNUM/cpuid, where CPUNUM is the minor number, and on an SMP box will direct the access to CPU CPUNUM as listed
in /proc/cpuinfo.
This file is protected so that it can only be read by the user root, or members of the group root.
NOTES
The CPUID instruction can be directly executed by a program using inline assembler. However this device allows convenient access to all
CPUs without changing process affinity.
Most of the information in cpuid is reported by the kernel in cooked form either in /proc/cpuinfo or through subdirectories in
/sys/devices/system/cpu. Direct CPUID access through this device should only be used in exceptional cases.
The cpuid driver is not auto-loaded. On modular kernels you might need to use the following command to load it explicitly before use:
$ modprobe cpuid
There is no support for CPUID functions that require additional input registers.
Very old x86 CPUs don't support CPUID.
