Document supported hardware architectures #7413

Open zamazan4ik opened 2 years ago

zamazan4ik commented 2 years ago

Hi!

We are investigating different databases for our solution. And FoundationDB is one of the candidates. And one of the requirements is support of different architectures (at least x86-64 and ARM).

I have checked the documentation but did not find any word about supported architectures - only about supported operating systems. Only a note about macOS.

Could you please put the information about supported architectures to the documentation please? E.e. about supported architectures for different operating systems, some specific requirements to the supported instructions, if you have any (e.g. maybe AVX is required - I do not know).

This kind of information is important for the end-users.

Thanks in advance!

x86-64 is supported, ARM is not officially supported (i.e., not running full suite of tests).

Could you please put this information somewhere into the documentation?
