Some 64 bit linux assembly for detecting and using specialized AES instructions.

README

A program designed to test operating system capabilities on 64 bit CPUs.
Currently supported operating systems: Linux, Mac OS X

In order to build, you need nasm: the netwide assembler.

$ make -f makefile.{your os}
