Right now the only intel specific code is the CPU info detection. It seems that this pytorch library https://github.com/pytorch/cpuinfo performs the same task with cross-platform support.

Maybe you could add that as a dependency to this project and delegate all those tasks to this library instead?

Hi Mandar,

That library seem a work very well done (it's part of pytorch, indeed). It may be a little overkill, since processor identification is only an optional part, but really it extracts a lot of informations that can be used to generate an hash. The best would be to make it an optional dependency...

Next month i may have a window of free time to work on licensecc. Priorities are the release 2.0 (nothing is missing except a general review and a tag) and then ARM...
